Do you want to take action to manage your lower back pain but don’t know where to start?

(Do you feel discouraged because you don’t know what to do to help yourself?)

It is very frustrating feeling confused and unsure when you are in pain.

When everyone is telling you different things it’s very trying. Who do you trust? And what’s even more frustrating is that you want to get control and manage your back pain but nobody seems to be giving you clear information about how to do that.

Have you heard dozens of different theories and ideas about the causes of back pain and the best way to manage it?

FACT: It is highly unlikely that one isolated factor has caused your back pain.

This is the heart of the problem. Many ‘solutions’ or ‘cures’ for back pain simply focus on one or two aspects and ignore or dismiss others

Think of it this way. You have six potential problem areas - imagine for a moment that they are pools - and all six are contributing something to your back pain. If you tackle the problems caused by just one or two of these pools and ignore the other ones you will continue to have problems.

Introducing The Back Pain Action Guide…

The Back Pain Action Guide is a new way of helping you understand all the different factors influencing your back pain. It contains step-by-step advice so you can design your own personalised action plan to actively manage your back pain. Its foundation is a combination of my experience working for sixteen years as a physiotherapist and the latest research findings.

Managing back pain doesn’t have to be complicated…

This is not just another book that is full of complicated ideas and medical jargon. Neither is it an oversimplification or a ‘dumbing down’ of the problem.

Instead it explains the problem in plain language and shows you a way forward

I have created a unique ‘pool’ model which is easy to understand and that untangles and simplifies back pain.

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 of us has different problems and needs. How can you be sure this book will be right for you?

This flexible new pool model helps you understand why each of us with back pain is different and why ‘one size fits all’ treatments simply don’t work. It offers suggestions to help you focus on the areas that are most appropriate for you and helps you tailor your action plan around these key areas. It will also point you in the right direction if you need more support.

The Back Pain Action Guide will get you started in the mission to manage your back pain.

It will do this because of three simple reasons:

Reason 1: It is underpinned by my 16 years of professional experience and the latest scientific evidence.
Reason 2: It uses a brand new model which makes all the causes of back pain clear and uncomplicated.
Reason 3: It is based on active treatments – it will help you decide what you need to do and guides you to create your own action plan.

So what exactly is in the Back Pain Action Guide and how can it help you?

This is a preview of some of the content from the book:

An overview of your spinal anatomy: Do you think that the human spine is a weak structure? Find out how your spine is cleverly designed to move whilst protecting your spinal cord. See illustrations of facet joints and nerve roots, and discover which muscles play an important role in spinal stability. Find out some surprising things about the myth of the ‘weak back’.

An explanation of the three main types of back pain: Do you know the most common cause of lower back pain? Up to date clinical guidelines suggest that there are three categories of lower back pain. The book explains what these categories are and what they mean to you.

An explanation of the most common spinal conditions: Have you have read about or been told that you have a particular spinal problem? The book describes the most common diagnoses and explains what the medical jargon actually means.

Separate off the things you can change from those you can’t: Do you feel defeated by your back pain diagnosis? Learn why concentrating too much energy on a medical diagnosis or a scan result can leave you feeling that there is no point in trying to make changes and can stop you improving.

Find out about the six pools: Do you want to know all the different factors that you need to consider when thinking about an action plan for your back? Discover the key to managing back pain through understanding what is in the six pools that can affect your back pain.

Why taking an active approach is important: Do you wonder why treatments haven’t always worked for you in the past? Find out why passive treatments need to be accompanied by more active ones.

The power of thoughts and beliefs: Do you sometimes feel anxious or worried about the future? Do you worry that your back pain will worsen and leave you disabled? Learn about the phenomenal power of your mind and how some unhelpful thoughts and beliefs are so common in back pain they even have their own names.

Untangle the problem of pain: Do you sometimes wonder why your pain varies so much? How can it be so much worse on some days then others? Discover how this can be explained by the ‘plasticity’ of the nervous system and how modern science is blowing all our old theories about pain out of the water. WARNING – this section will seriously challenge some of your preconceptions.

How to cope with a flare up or recurrence: Have you felt at a loss and not known what to do when your back pain has suddenly worsened? Should you rest? Should you stay active? What treatment is best? Recurrence is very common with back pain; find out what to do when it happens.

Know when you need to seek urgent help: do you worry that there might be something terribly wrong with you? Are you concerned that you may have a life threatening problem like cancer? You are not alone if you feel that way. Find out about the more serious causes of back pain and the ‘red flag’ signs that your doctor would want to know about.

Treatment A-Z: Ever thought about getting a massage or having your spine manipulated? What about traction or TENS machines? There are many treatments available. Learn what the most common ones are, what they do and what the research evidence says about them.

Develop your own Action Plan: Have you felt unsure what you should do next? Each chapter ends with a selection of actions that you could add to your personal action plan. I have also designed a special interactive chart that lets you plan your next actions and create your own personalised action plan with a mouse click.

Simple illustrated exercise examples: Do you feel that you could benefit from some exercise but you are not sure what to do? I have included Illustrated examples of the most common stretches for flexibility, muscle length and core control and stability. Do you feel like you need to improve your posture but you’re not sure how to do it? The book has illustrated tips for managing sitting, sleeping and lifting posture.

Evidence Based information: Do you want to be sure that the guidance you are given is based on the best evidence? Each chapter contains key points from the research and outlines the latest scientific findings in each area. The book also has a very comprehensive reference list. Want even more detail?

2. A new model that I have created to help simplify back pain causes

Back pain is influenced by many factors – that’s what makes it complex and sometimes difficult to get to the bottom of. This new model helps you see the wood for the trees. Each of the main chapters concentrates on one problem at a time, helping you see what may be making your problem worse and giving you clear ideas of how you can change those things.

3. Tools to help you create a personal plan

The main aim of this book is to give you the understanding and knowledge that you need to make an action plan. I want you to feel you have control of your back pain and not the other way around.

However…this book is not aimed at those of you who have:

• A serious back problem such as cancer, infection, fractures, inflammatory diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis.
