The Back Fix: How to Beat The World's #1 Disability

Description

Why is back pain the world’s biggest disability? Why aren’t the fixes we buy working? The answer lies not within medication, repeat ‘treatments’ or surgery. It lies deeply rooted within our lifestyle and behaviour – in the way we behave as an animal. Movement is medicine - it is the missing link - the active ingredient in treating our back pain - whether highly-trained, elite athletes, sedentary office workers or manual labourers. Learn the 10 Back Facts we all should know about our backs. Find your inner ape. Learn how to treat your back pain yourself by taking a more simplistic, animal-minded approach to your pain. Understand that you are your own best therapy. Learn how to tailor your lifestyle to achieve your back pain goals. Use movement and mindfulness as a way back to enjoying a healthier, happier, more fulfilled and self-empowered life. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The second edition of this highly acclaimed and popular book is a comprehensive 'how-to' for all back pain sufferers. It is for those who are distressed and lost amongst the confusing plethora of 'treatment' options in the modern marketplace. The aim is to clear a pathway through the tangled jungle of fast-fix claims and snake oil remedies. To help you manage your back pain as simply and quickly as possible. To answer the question: ‘Where is my back pain coming from and what can I do to fix it myself?’ To show you how to become the central protagonist in the story of your own recovery. We’ve tried to lay out this book as simply as possible, with as many infographics as we can, so you can pick it up at any point, have a quick glance and learn something useful. We repeat and re-emphasize important points. But the central aim is this: to get you feeling and functioning well, to give you the knowledge and understanding, to enable and empower you to manage your back pain yourself. The fact is, you are your own best treatment. Without doubt, the best practitioner to fix your back pain is you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In this book, Antony Bush has provided an exceptional resource for people with back pain. No quick fix exists, but much can be done by looking at our lifestyle - how we function and move. The Back Fix provides a great tool for teaching people how to self-manage their back pain, whether acute or chronic. Antony and his team deserve our congratulations and thanks for an educational and enjoyable read.
