The Back Fix: How to Beat The World's # 1 Disability, 2nd Edition

Why is back pain the world’s greatest disability?
Why aren’t the fixes we buy working?
What are the 10 things researchers want us to know about our backs?
What are the best exercises or activities for back pain?
The answer to these questions 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.
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. 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 painis you.
