Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The human spine is not well suited for our way of life, and as a result, back pain is pandemic—there is hardly anyone who has not been bothered by it at some time. Although advanced in other areas of science, when it comes to fixing backs, we have made little progress.

This book breaks new ground and is written for sufferers and practitioners alike. In layman's language, it charts a new, easy-to-understand model for the way the human spine breaks down, starting off with commonplace and totally reversible conditions (which 90 per cent of us have), and progressing to the more difficult ones.

The Back Sufferers' Bible describes clearly how each stage of back pain manifests and sets out a logical course of treatment programmes. It explains when you need medication and when you need to rest in bed. The book details all the exercises—how to do them and the common pitfalls with each one. It provides all the information you need to play an active part in your own treatment. For practitioners, there is a new section of comprehensive source material and further reading.

Now you can understand what has gone wrong with your spine and take steps to keep your back healthy and pain-free.
