The majority of us in the Western world will suffer at some point with aches and pains. Statistics say over 80% of those will be back problems. The Dutch philosopher Erasmus once said, ‘Prevention is better than cure,’ so doesn’t it make sense to do something now that can prevent this pain from happening? This book not only provides a common-sense approach to identifying and changing those habits known to be a major cause of those aches and pains, but will also keep you toned, since doing actions the correct way means you will be using the right muscles while protecting the spine, giving you a better quality of life now as well as in your mature years.
Coming from a medical background Carrie, originally an RGN, retrained to her current position as Specialist in Musculoskeletal problems and has run her own clinic for over 25 years. During this time, she travelled overseas to research into the cause of bad backs since this was what most of her patients complained of. They encouraged her to write this book. It is her lifelong dream to leave a legacy that her book is used in schools to educate children on the correct way of doing activities of daily living that will prevent the aches and pains their peers now endure.
