Where
Can You Go From Here.
The aim of the Bad Back Book
is to
give you an insight into how you can go about fixing your back pain. It
covers
a brief summary of everything I have learnt in nearly 20 years of full
time practice
in my SLM Bodywork clinic.
During
that time nearly every case you could
possibly imagine
has walked through my door and although what I do certainly
doesn’t work for
everybody, the majority of people who come in, left without pain or
with a
lot more hope and direction on how to get pain free.
The common denominator in the people who have
the most stubborn problems is they have a body that is tight and
stressed
for all of the reasons I have already spoken about earlier in the
book.
If someone
comes in with a relatively healthy
body and is motivated to co operate for as long as is necessary, and
that could
be as long as 6 months, the chances of them getting rid of their pain
for good is
very high. That includes people who have been everywhere
and tried
everything else with little or no success.
There is
always a good reason why people
have back pain and it is not rocket science. I feel that many
specialists over
complicate things far too much and in doing so miss the obvious causes.
I sincerely
believe that with the right
advice and effort on your part, using the same logic and approach that
I have for all these years, you can be pain free
again.
Now I am sure
there are people reading this
who consider themselves to be so bad they are beyond help of this
nature. People
who have been taking medication for many years for nerve pain that just
doesn’t
let up, or perhaps on social security or a pension because they
can’t work due
to the intensity of their back pain.
I would not
exclude them from being able to
improve using the same approach for one minute, I’ve seen it
happen many times.
The important thing is to put everything in the right order.
Obviously
when you are
in a very bad way you can’t jump straight
into exercises
or you will just
irritate your pain, first you have to settle the inflamed tissue and
build some
strength into your body and you can do this best with nutrition.
Detoxing your
body and feeding it with the
best diet possible will settle the nerves and tissue stress and make it
much
more likely that you will respond to gentle strengthening work which is
the
next thing you need to do, using isometric exercises.
It is so important your muscle system
supports your
frame properly so that the joints, nerves and disc are not under
pressure when
you are on your feet. If you can get to a point where you can lie down
and relieve
your pain you can do some isometric exercises in the same position to
get your
strength to start increasing. This is exactly what my SLM Yoga workout
does.
About 60% of it is done lying flat on your back on the floor and will
build a
level of strength and suppleness into your muscles that
should get you on
your
feet pain free.
I had a patient come in to see me who had a badly ruptured disc in his
lower back and was flat on his back taking medication for 6 weeks
before
coming in......
