Aged 16, Rachel Krentzman was diagnosed with scoliosis. At 32 she suffered a herniated disk and was told she would have to modify her activities for the rest of her life – instead, Rachel is now a walking testimonial for how yoga can be used therapeutically to heal your back pain.
Her books are companions to the Happy Back Yoga Professional Training and Yoga Therapy for Scoliosis respectively.
