520    Today's busy world provides too much stress and not enough
       time for exercise. Instead of walking, running, and doing 
       physical chores, we sit for hours at a desk, use machines 
       to do work for us, and drive a car for even the shortest 
       trips. As a result, more than sixty-five million Americans
       experience back pain, neck stiffness, and tension 
       headaches. Dr. Kraus explains the causes of back pain and 
       tells you what you can do to prevent and alleviate it.He 
       presents six simple tests to determine whether you have 
       the strength to carry your own body weight and the 
       flexibility to match your height. According to Dr. Kraus, 
       if you fail any one of these tests, you are underexercised
       or overtensed, and the odds are high that if you don't 
       already suffer from back pain, you will in the future. Dr.
       Kraus provides various approaches to back and tension 
       problems, the primary focus being a series of carefully 
       planned exercises to strengthen the whole body and to 
       correct specific physical deficiencies. Featuring a 
       foreword by Robert H. Boyle, Backache, Stress, and Tension
       is an essential handbook for everyone in today's 
       overworked, overstressed world.
