Back Pain: How to Get Rid of It Forever - Paperback

by John Perrier (Author)

The title says it all: this book will help you permanently banish your back pain. In three logical sections, it shows you how to feel better. The first section makes it easy for you to understand your back pain. Using simple, clear language, it explains the structure of your spine, and demystifies many common pain-provoking conditions. The second part offers a unique quiz that will help you to classify your injury into one of four types. In this way, you will learn how to cure your pain, not someone else's. In part three, the advice flows thick and fast. You will learn clever techniques that will help you to use your spine more efficiently, and discover how to think, eat, relax, and sleep away your pain. You'll also find useful information on exercises, x-rays, medication and muscles, plus some tips on how to choose a spinal health practitioner. Of course, all of the advice will be tailored to your specific problem. Because the cure uses well-proven techniques, your relief won't just last a few days or weeks. You will feel better forever. * * * * "The best self help back book I have ever read." Dr Keith Charlton, Chiropractor, former governor of the Australian Spinal Research Foundation.

Author Biography

John Perrier was born in Brisbane, Australia in 1967. Perrier has published four books across a variety of genres and subjects with more coming soon. His first book, published in 1999, was entitled 'Back Pain: How to get Rid of It Forever'. This book emanated from his career as a physiotherapist and his frustration that all other self-help books on the market gave the same advice and exercises regardless of the patient's problem! This book was an instant success in Australia, selling out of its original print run. Perrier has since appeared on Australian television and radio talking about back pain, as well as writing dozens of articles for major magazines and newspapers. So far he has treated about 30 000 cases of back pain! When he is not writing, Perrier likes to play basketball, cheer on his beloved Carlton Blues Australian football club, potter in his herb garden, walk, muck around with his kids, or listen to blues music.
