Book Review on Yoga for a Happy Back, one of the many books available in our collection
"The author really demystifies the body's muscles and their functions while she walks you through various yoga positions for pain relief" said a staff member at Neuro-Patient Resource Centre. "For instance, she explains the anatomy of the core before delving info core-strengthening exercises. The book also includes many instructional photos and graphics, all of which I found helpful."
Book Review on The Multiple Sclerosis Diet Plan & Cookbook, one of the many books available in our collection
"It's a very good introduction to anti-inflammatory meals," said a staff member at one of our clinics. "I borrowed it for my sister who has MS, but I ended up following the recipes myself. The grocery lists make it so easy to plan ahead and everything tasted great."
