Stronger Than Surgery

Not every spine needs a scalpel — what it truly needs is a smarter clinician.
Stronger Than Surgery is a clinical guide that challenges the growing trend of unnecessary spine surgeries. Written for physiotherapists and students, this book focuses not on techniques, but on what matters more — clinical thinking, red flag recognition, and decision-making in real-world spine care.
Through compelling patient cases, grounded reasoning, and a physiotherapist’s lens, Dr. Yashwant Peddenti (PT) presents a new path: one where physiotherapy leads confidently, and conservatively. No fluff. No rehab jargon. Just clear, practical guidance on when to act, when to refer, and when to hold your ground.
If you're ready to move beyond protocol-based rehab and start thinking like a spine-first clinician — Stronger Than Surgery will show you how.
Step into the role you were meant for — the one that keeps patients off the table and on their feet."
