Synopsis

In the UK alone, 33 million working days are lost through back troubles. People are often given painkillers and left to get on with it, but there are many fairly simple, painless remedies which can be very effective. This book gives a complete approach to back problems, going well beyond the "mechanical fault" idea and bringing in body dynamics and nutritional strategies. It gives the options open for professional help - osteopathy, chiropractice, Alexander Technique, acupuncture etc - and explains self-help measures that can be used to complement professional help.
