This book will definitely change your opinion about your self and the cause of your joint pains. On the basis that stress causes a worst negative impact in our bodies as we self-think and not the backbone itself. As I start to read this book I could only nod with my head at the beginning of almost every paragraph. This book is also an example how positive thinking (such an expression in fashion nowadays) really can improve your health and not only your life. And how to think that there "must be" something wrong with your back actually is a mirror of your mind more as the problem itself.
The most astonishing revelation for me in the book is the fact of an study made in hundreds of people with and without pack pain, revealing that the state of the spine on many people without back pain was in fact "worst" that the spine of people with back pain with the difference that people without pack pain have a different approach to stress situations and themselves as the people with back pain. Amazing!!
I have visited all kind doctors, physios, Chiropracts, Osteophats, Physical therapists, Massage Therapists, practice yoga and Pilates and all you can imagine. Make yourself a favor and buy this book. I'm so impressed with it, that I speak with everybody about it. Since I have been suffering of chronic back pain for 15 years I see this book as the real solution.
Good luck

At last! Back Sense is the first book, available to the public, that a person with chronic back pain could pick up and use to cure themselves.
Back Sense gives a logical, reasonable and alternative view of how back pain problems develop, what maintains them, and how an individual can break the fear/anxiety cycle that creates so much tension and suffering.
Back Sense brings radical new developments in back pain treatment to a general audience in a user-friendly format.
This book will help people to discover for themselves the way to break the cycle of chronic back pain.
Back Sense integrates the newest finding in the medical literature with up to date and comprehensive psychological treatment methods.
It has long been maintained that when humans assumed our upright posture, our backs became prone to pain problems. The good news contained in Back Sense is that we also possess the ability to reverse the process that turns it into a chronic problem.

Not much to say except this effectively cured me and my mum of chronic back pain. The approach is rational shifting of the way you understand your condition, which although painful is unlikely to be underpinned by a persistent spine injury (the initial accute injury having probably healed, but the fear and anxiety persisting). It made perfect sense from the outset and as I read I knew this was going to work for me.
I gradually went from daily pain to being able to return to karate, skiing and cycling.

Back sense or not?
This book concentrates very much upon the psychological aspects of back pain. It seems to suggest that most chronic back pain is caused by stress, negative emotions and thoughts,... Read more
