Presented in a question and answer format, the book offers a comprehensive guide to the relief of back pain. The author provides an explanation of the various alternative treatments, together with a description of the way to relieve pain of all kinds, using her own "hands-on technique". The author trained as a physiotherapist in Australia, before establishing the Sarah Key Physiotherapy Centre in the Harley Street area, and later opened a branch in Sydney. She is also a consulting physiotherapist for Quantas.

My only complaint is that this book was too short. It made me laugh out loud and I thought the way it treated the problem of dyslexia was practical and fun, instead of being some weighty, miserable essay about trauma it put a smile on my face. Perfect.

I really enjoyed this book. The way the vicar accidently says important words backwards makes some extremely funny scenes, for example instead of telling the knitting group that each one of them "knits" the word becomes "stink". I also think the way some backwards words sound like the vicar is swearing adds to the interest and humour. James
