Synopsis

In an easy-to-read question and answer format, this book sets out all the commonly asked questions about back problems and how to treat them. Sarah Key explains that most back problems are caused by the stiffness of a spinal link or vertebra - a totally reversible condition. By starting off with physiotherapy to mobilize the stiff spinal links, and then practising techniques and exercises to keep each vertebra separated and supple, you can have a healthy back. Illustrations throughout the text make the explanations easy to understand, and a daily exercise plan shows you how to strengthen your back and alleviate pain. The author trained as a physiotherapist in Australia before establishing her own centre in London in 1976. Today she sees patients in Sydney from both parts of the world and through her website talks with back-treating professionals and sufferers alike. She was made a Member of the Victorian Order in 2001 acknowledging her many years' service treating members of the British royal family.

Most back pain is not caused by disc problems, but simply by joint stiffness, according to Sarah Key. Manual manipulation reactivates the joints and improves flexibility. Key maintains that the most successful treatment for relieving back pain is that given by using the hands. Her method has put thousands of grateful patients 'back in action'.
