I learnt some very tough lessons when I was suffering my own excruciating back pain. I learnt that Doctors, Physio’s, Acupuncturists and so on seem to not be able to solve the problem, or even really alleviate it. Strong pain is the body’s way of letting you know you that something is really, seriously wrong.
Sometimes pain, like a bruise or cut is something you can see, know what to do, and easily treat.
But the problem with back pain is you really don’t know what’s causing it. You don’t know WHAT to fix. You just have back pain.
After visiting the Doctor or the Physio, you may get some temporary relief, but sure enough, it soon comes back. And so you go back again to the physio!
And on it goes.
I am sure you know EXACTLY what I am talking about. Nothing seems to work.
After nearly nearly 7 years of pain, I was able to solve my own back pain issues in just a few days.
I did this myself, after reading and studying hundreds of things written on back problems, and after countless specialist visits.
This book provides the exercises and stretches that fixed my back literally in three days, AFTER 7 years of agony, including serious sciatica, that physios, doctors, acupuncturists, etc. all couldn’t fix, heal, or even really help.
But the best news of all is it takes literally LESS than 5 minutes a day!
After telling my story to friends, most of them also solved their own back problems following my system.
Around 10 years ago I travelled a lot on aeroplanes, was under massive stress at work having just set up my own company, and sat at my office desk for hours on end, whilst being a weekend warrior in sports.
All these things combined to create terrible back problems.
And what I finally learnt is that not like a pulled muscle, back pain is the end result of a long build-up of dysfunction and body and muscle imbalance.
I also learnt that in so many cases the back pain is NOT actually caused by your back, but by somewhere else entirely in your body.
In my own case, I didn’t know whether my pain was due to a muscle injury or nerve spasm, a slipped disc or just over-use, osteoarthritis, or simple age and wear and tear.
What I did know was that it was scary.
And I often wondered whether I would ever be “cured.”
I saw all sorts of experts and medical specialists to try to fix my back.
I saw chiropractors, an acupuncturist, an Orthopaedic surgeon, a doctor and several physiotherapists. I learnt a lot from each of them, but none were able to actually fix me.
Not one.
It back pain was so bad that for many months, I could only work at my desk in periods of 10 to 15 minutes at a time, before having to curl up on my office floor in
the foetal position for several minutes to relieve the spasm and pain.
I would then get back to my desk and start work again. Again for another 10 to 15 minutes before the same thing happened. At the time, I was starting and had just opened my own business, so you can imagine how desperate I was for a cure.
I’m sure many of you reading this know exactly what I am talking about.
Nothing fixed me.
Eventually, the actual sciatica attacks subsided, but it left me with an ongoing legacy of further chronic back problems.
I read many books on the subject. Many talked about the effect of stress, of sitting, of being overweight (fortunately that wasn't one of my problems) of too much caffeine, too much soda, too little water, and so on and so on!
Thousands of pages. All basically saying there were so many steps needed to fix my back, my whole life would need changing, and would take countless hours and would STILL have no guarantee of solving my problems and that even if I did all this, there was no sure fire guarantee anything would change, but it “should” help.
I wanted something to work straight away. Something to be effective.
Doctors and physios couldn’t fix my back.
I bought books in book shops, and on the internet. Some were ridiculous. SO complicated, and in my view useless.
Unfortunately, I decided that I wanted to keep playing soccer, which I had played and loved since being a small boy. This was a HUGE motivation for me.
At that time I was into my late 40’s, and my back problems, although bad, simply meant I could make a practice session on Wednesday and play on the weekend but I paid the price. Each Thursday after
Wednesday practice and on Monday morning after the Sunday game I couldn’t get out of bed. Literally.
I would drop from my bed to the floor. Crawl on my hands and knees to the kitchen, where I would take anti inflammatory and pain killers, just to be able to stand up.
This literally went on for years.
I remember clearly the day I fixed my back. It was a Tuesday. On Wednesday I attended my usual soccer practice. A good friend of mine in the team, Don, said afterwards “My God, what happened to you? We’ve never seen you so mobile in the 5 years we have known you”
I felt good, and did not realise it at the time, but my back problems were over. I thought maybe it was just one of those lucky days! (If you are like me, you will know that some days are better than others)
The next morning, (remember normally I couldn’t get out of bed) I got up, and suddenly realised I had for the first time in years been able to get out bed after soccer without dropping to the floor first!
I felt so good, I actually went out for a run. The FIRST time in years and years I could do that!
My back literally was fixed!
Now 20 years later I still play soccer, go to the gym, and life is normal.
So this is how I fixed myself, and the exact programme I used to help many friends do the same, and NOW you too, can use.
