Are you afraid your back pain will stop you living a normal life?

Do you lose sleep thinking about how it will affect your job, family or social life if it doesn’t go away or if it gets worse?

Do you have a busy life juggling work, children and home? Does it sometimes feel a struggle just to keep everything running smoothly? Back pain can make your everyday life seem much harder to manage. It is common to worry about how you will cope if your back pain doesn’t go away or if it gets worse.

But Back Pain does not have to stop you living a normal life.

Introducing The Back Pain Action Guide…

The Back Pain Action Guide is a six step programme that shows you how you can keep living a normal life and stop worrying about your back pain. During twenty years of working as a physiotherapist I have helped thousands of people to take control of their back problem and have helped them feel confident and clear about what they need to do next. This book is based on that knowledge and experience.

Back Pain doesn’t have to rule your life…

Even if your back condition isn’t serious it can still feel like it’s ruling your life. Instead of just getting on with your normal routine are you worried that some things will make your back pain worse and start thinking things like: “Is it OK to go to the park to play with my children?”, “Will my exercise class leave me feeling sore for days?”, “Should I skip the weekly shopping trip?”, “What should I avoid so I don’t make it all worse?”

The problem with thinking this way is that you end up steering clear of a lot of day to day activities in case they make your problem worse. Your life starts to become dominated by your back problem. On top of that you lose fitness, lose confidence and you may even feel fed up and isolated as you struggle to see your friends. All this will make your back pain feel worse.

In a clear and down to earth way the Back Pain Action Guide uses a new gradual approach to get you feeling in control again. In plain language the book shows you how to tackle your problem in six different ways. It will help you reverse your downward spiral of worry about back pain and will show you how you can take control by developing your own personalised action plan.

Have you wanted to do something about your back pain for a while but didn’t know where to start?

How do you know where to begin? There’s a mountain of contradictory information written about back pain, and If you’re already struggling to keep everything ticking over, the frustration and difficulty of trying to work it all out for yourself just adds to your troubles. Back pain is a complex problem - it has taken me years of training and experience to build up a really good understanding of it. Over this time I have worked very hard to find a way to break this complex problem down and present it in a way that’s easy for you to understand. I have shared this hard work and understanding with you in the Back Pain Action Guide.

"I was worried it would be over my head" Virginia Morris UK

"I have had back pain for 5 years on and off. I have been looking for something that would give me some ideas of things I could do about it. I have tried other books but ended up still not being clear about what to do. But the book was better than I expected, you wrote in such a way that I felt as though you were in the room with me. I like the way it is laid out, very easy to read and full of practical tips. It doesn't try and con me into buying lots of things that I don't need or stuff that promises miracle cures. I felt less afraid after reading it - as if there were lots of people with the same thing and they were OK and hadn't ended up disabled. I am going to try some of the ideas. Thanks again. "

What makes this book any different from the others you can buy?

When I first started working as a physiotherapist I was shocked to realise how many of my patients with back pain had been told completely different things by different care providers. I also realised that even my colleagues didn’t always agree on how to best manage back pain. Some felt that hands on treatments were best, others preferred a more active approach, and some believed it was how you felt about it that made the difference. Even I was struggling to make sense of it, so how on earth was someone with no training going to work the problem out?

I was seeing hundreds of patients with back pain and I wasn’t 100% sure how I should be treating them. I started to try and draw all the different strands together to see if there was a clear answer to the question of how to manage back pain. I read as much of the literature as I could and discussed the problem at length with my peers, but it was impossible. Twenty years ago there was very little guidance or evidence that pointed people in the right direction. It was very hard to change the habits and ideas of a lifetime too…some clinicians just wanted to carry on doing what they had always done and many patients just wanted someone to fix it for them. So I struggled on trying to find the best way to manage back pain for years...

…until the publication of some important guidelines in 1994 by the Clinical Standards Advisory Group (CSAG) finally provided some research based guidance saying that it was best to try and remain active if you had back pain. Despite this, it was still difficult to find a way to help people that didn’t involve going down either one treatment road or another, there didn’t seem to be a way that linked everything together. I kept searching for answers. I began to study the research about pain and the way in which our feelings and surroundings can influence back pain. I was amazed by Gordon Waddell's work 'The Back Pain Revolution' which looked at the relationship between pain and distress. I also studied David Butler and Louis Gifford's work on the nervous system and attended training courses with them both. This was the final piece of the puzzle for me which helped me join the dots and understand why a fragmented approach to back pain was often unhelpful.

My next problem was how to explain all these complicated issues to my patients? I started to develop my own method and found a successful way of explaining the bigger picture and why they needed to take lots of different factors into account when treating their back pain. I broke their treatment down into three easy to follow steps:

1. Reducing some of the stresses and strains that their back was subjected to
2. Making their back fitter so that it could handle whatever they threw at it
3. Making sure their thoughts and feelings were not hindering their recovery

After that I started to see much better results. My patients were clearer about what they needed to do, and I felt happy that I was using the best research to deliver a really comprehensive treatment programme that didn’t force either me or my patients down a one way street.

Since this breakthrough I’ve refined and developed my ideas to make sure that I haven’t missed any new research. Over the years the evidence for keeping active has strengthened, and so I have emphasised this.

Six steps to Successful Back Pain management

If you don’t understand that back pain is caused by six different areas that feed into the problem, you will struggle to get control.

The latest piece of the puzzle slotted into place a few years ago. I was struggling to think of a way to encourage people who had changes on their scan and X-ray to not feel despondent. I needed to explain why this is just one piece of the problem and that by taking care of all the other pieces these changes can be overcome. I racked my brains for a way to explain the fluidity of the relationship between all these pieces, when I hit upon the idea of water filled pools to represent the six main factors involved in back pain. I checked it out with my colleagues to see if they thought I had lost my senses, but they all thought it was a brilliant way of describing a very complex issue. I’ve even heard them describing the six different ‘pools’ to their patients!

It was at this point I decided to write a book. I get very upset by the amount of poor quality 'information' available for back pain sufferers and I wanted to help people I would never get the chance to see. Trying to distil all my years of experience, all my training, my reading, the thousands of discussions and problem solving sessions with my colleagues into one text was really hard. It was especially hard as I wanted the book to be based on research evidence so it would be clear that I hadn’t just dreamt it up out of nowhere. So, much to my surprise it took me two years to write the book, much longer than I had expected.

The result is The Back Pain Action Guide. It is not a quick fix back pain cure. Rather, it is a system that will show you what you need to know about all the different elements that cause back pain and will give you lifelong skills to deal with it. I hope it is as useful to you as it has been to my patients over the years.

But will it be right for you and your back pain…?

I have met and treated thousands of patients with back pain and no two are the same. Each one of us has different problems and needs, so how can you be sure this book will be right for you?

One of the most important features of the book is that it is designed to be flexible. The unique ‘pool’ idea that I have created helps you identify the areas that are most important for you and tailors your action plan around these key areas. The Back Pain Action Guide will help you decide which areas to concentrate on.

And if the book really isn’t right for you? I offer a full, no questions asked 60 day money back guarantee.

But you can get back pain information free on the internet…

If you have had back pain for a while, I expect you have read many theories and ideas about the best way to manage it. You and I both know there is a lot of information available for free, but is it reliable, and is it structured to help you build a plan that suits your particular problem? You can trust the information in The Back Pain Action Guide because it is based on the latest research findings and many years of my own experience as a physiotherapist.
