Book Preview: #1 The book shows you how to put your back in if you have been unfortunate enough to have put it out, and it also shows you what steps you need to take to avoid a recurrence.

#2 The majority of people who have back pain will experience recurring or chronic back problems. Once you learn self-management, you will be willing to take responsibility for your own care.

#3 The majority of back pain is mechanical in nature, and is caused by problems with the moving parts. If you are a typical patient, your problem is worse when bending forward for prolonged periods, and especially if sitting for prolonged periods while driving.

#4 The claim that back pain is a short-term problem ignores the evidence of research. Many studies show that far from being short-term, over 50 percent of patients suffer from recurring attacks or have persistent or chronic pain following their initial period of disablement.
