There is probably no one on earth who has not been bothered by it at some time, or at least knows, someone who has. Advanced as we are in other areas of science, with fixing backs we are little further ahead.This book breaks new ground, and is written for sufferers and practitioners alike. In layman's language it charts a new, easy to understand model for the way the human spine breaks down, starting off with commonplace and totally reversible conditions (which 90% of us have), and progressing to the more difficult ones.Most backpain begins as a simple linkage problem between two spinal segments - usually something so benign that it is overlooked.

Trouble comes at them from unexpected angles, and they will themselves through it, hardheaded and resourceful.

They lose their puff, fall into ravines, double back, drop their compasses, go bush mad, and that has been the way since the colony was framed, when a line was drawn, and everyone stayed inside it. In the main, they still do. It is such a vast ocean of land they cannot imagine it, and when they do try, do not get far.'In the early 1800s, out of the prison society of governors, redcoats, gaolers, convicts and the few free settlers of Botany Bay, none ventured much farther inland than a few dozen miles from Sydney.
