Go onto Google and find 'Treat Your Own Back' by McKenzie. 10 million copies of this book have been sold worldwide. It not only has a range of emergency to routine exercises it famously explains why the exercises are as they are and exactly how your back operates and how things like bad posture causes us all problems.This book plus a great physio sorted out my back in 1983 and has done ever since.

Sorry, that should be Greg Bagley, not Bayley.

My mother is a retired physio and gave me a copy of 'Treat your own Back' when I messed it up about 12 years ago. I still have that copy if you'd like to borrow it, drop me a PM. My only gripe is that it is a bit outdated now. Sara Key (an Australian physio) seems to be pioneering new back treatments and is held in high regard. She has some books available. I believe that there are also various practices in the UK who are now following her methodology, try googling her name. I know of Greg (who is recommended by Susan) but haven't had any personal experience with him. However Rosena Johnson who works at the same practice is very, very good. 020 8847 1887
