Learn how you can restore your back to normal health!

When You Know How You Got Back Pain You Can Fix It!

This programme will guide you through the steps that will help you heal most kinds of back pain by yourself. 
If you’re already under the supervision of your doctor or therapist, this programme can still be used to help improve and maintain your health because your understanding will help prevent it happening again.

• Most back pain is rooted in problems with the muscles of your back and legs.   Muscles exert force on the bones of your body and if they pull too much, or not enough, your bone structure will be pulled out of alignment. When the misalignment is great enough, pain will eventually follow. 

• Muscles work in pairs, one pulling a bone one way, the other pulling the same bone back where it started. This is called an antagonistic pair. It’s rather like a tug of war, though it only gets to be like a tug of war when there’s a problem! For example your biceps muscle bends your arm and its antagonist (your triceps), straightens your arm.

• When one muscle in an antagonistic pair pulls too much and the other not enough it’s known as a “muscle imbalance”.  Muscle imbalances are very common and there may be several antagonistic pairs involved around the joint that’s painful.

There are four types of muscle-based problems that lead to back pain.

• Forward tilting pelvis
• High hip
• Backward tilting pelvis
• Forward Head and Shoulders

Each of these problems needs their own set of specific exercises to correct them.  Very often, back pain exercise programmes suggest exercises that may work for one of the above problems, but will make another problem worse.
A “one size fits all” back pain exercise programme can therefore make matters considerably worse for some people, as they may strengthen muscles which are already overworking.

This programme will identify the source of your particular back problem and the exercises that you need to do to correct it.

In the first session (2 hours) you will learn:

• What kind of back problem you have.
• You will practise the exercises you need to do to correct it.
• How to assess that you are doing your exercises correctly.
• How to know when it is appropriate to bring in other exercises to support the health of your back.

 In the second (1 hour) session you will learn:

• How to fine tune your diet to build the strength of your back.
• Which supplements and herbs can support you.
• Your progress with the exercises will be reviewed.

When you complete this programme you can feel assured that not only can you get rid of your back pain, but you can make sure that it never comes back.

The programme is taught by Tim Metford Lic.Ac.M.B.Ac.C.B.Ed. who specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of back and joint pains.

The cost of the programme is £110 and this can be funded through the Landrover ADS.
