Knowledge Is Power
The Power of Your Spine: How Back Strength and Posture Pilots the Entire Body explains to readers the vital function of back muscles and the spine and how to care for this important area of the body. Why was this an important book for you to write?
One reason this book was important for me to write, which is the core of all my books, is to help educate people to help them heal, support, maintain, and exercise their bodies safely. I often say, “Knowledge is power.” I wanted to teach the power of this spine.
What were some ideas that were important for you to share in this book?
In this book I share illustrations of muscles that we all have. In order for me to teach the “Power” of the spine, readers need the visuals in these illustrations for better learning and understanding.
What is a common misconception you feel people have about back pain?
I find a big misconception about back care and muscles is the “cliche” of what the core muscles are. In social media we often see posts and videos with strong titles like “3 best exercises for your core” or “number one exercise everyone should do for their core” etc. The “core” also includes the many deep muscles in the spine.
These deeper muscles play essential roles in walking, standing, posture, balance, stabilization, and movement. If they are weak and/or ignored the larger muscles try to do the smaller muscles jobs and this causes malfunction, injury, and pain.
What is one thing you hope readers take away from your book?
A gain of knowledge. Once the knowledge shared in this book is known, this can help the reader find a knowledgeable trainer, chiropractor, physical therapist, and more. If professionals helping me heal or in therapy do not know the purpose of all the muscles and how they work together as a team, they cannot help to the extent most people need. For example, if someone is going to a personal trainer, physical therapist, or massage therapist for back care (posture, pain, strengthening, etc.), these professionals should know all the muscles in this book.
Also, many professionals hand a patient/client a piece of paper with exercises to go home and do. Well, the paper is usually the same for every person with back pain. Its usually not based on the individual’s personal situation. This leaves people unable to heal or get more injured.

The Power of Your Spine: How Back Strength and Posture Pilots the Entire Body
The Power of Your Spine: How Back Strength and Posture Pilots the Entire Body by Tracy L. Markley is an exceptionally enlightening and valuable book that takes readers on a profound exploration of our physical beings. Tracy’s motivation to write this book stems from her interactions with individuals, aiming to foster an understanding of our bodies’ fundamental composition: bones and muscles. She emphasizes that comprehending the intricate workings of each muscle, both independently and in synergy with others, holds the key to cultivating a healthy and pain-free physique. By prioritizing good posture, exercise, and providing our bodies with proper care, we can significantly enhance our physical well-being, thus elevating our overall quality of life.
The book’s composition showcases Tracy’s masterful craftsmanship, characterized by an amiable yet highly informative tone that resonates with readers of all backgrounds. One notable example is Tracy’s inclusion of anatomical terms. The author thoughtfully incorporates illustrations throughout the book, facilitating clear comprehension of muscle identification and function. Consequently, readers can grasp the knowledge imparted by the book and overcome the challenges associated with anatomical terminology.
While the author acknowledges the relevance of the book to individuals in recovery or older age groups, I firmly believe that its usefulness extends to people of all demographics. In our contemporary society, where rapid-paced living and technological advancements dominate, many of us find ourselves bound to chairs or computer screens for prolonged periods. Moreover, poor posture, although an individual concern, affects a substantial portion of the population. Understanding the root causes of bodily discomfort and equipping ourselves with the knowledge to alleviate such pain becomes imperative for leading a pain-free existence.
The Power of Your Spine: How Back Strength and Posture Pilots the Entire Body by Tracy L. Markley is a book that should be embraced by everyone, as it empowers individuals to alleviate existing pain and prevent future discomfort. Personally, I intend to return to this invaluable resource repeatedly, employing it as an essential tool to guide my exercise routines and self-care practices.
