Synopsis

Take steps to keep your back healthy and pain-free with down to earth advice from one of Australia's most high profile physiotherapists. This completely revised and updated edition, written for sufferers and practitioners alike, provides all the information you need to play an active part in your own treatment.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. Advanced as we are in other areas of science, with fixing backs we are little further ahead.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 programs. It explains when you need medication and when you need to rest in bed. It explains all the exercises - how to do them and the common pitfalls with each one. It gives you 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.ORDERSThe BackBlock and Ma Roller used in this book can be ordered direct by sending a cheque or money order (for BackBlock, plastic or wooden: $66; Ma Roller $40; for both: $95 inclusive of GST and postage and handling) to:The Sarah Key Physiotherapy Centre6th Floor, 44 Bridge StreetSYDNEY NSW 2000Inquiries email: net@sarahkey.com
