Please note that I have no relationship with the products or services I describe here. I developed this site partly to encourage me to put more effort into fixing my own back, but also to inspire others to go take control of their own back care.

Hopefully you may find some of the ideas here useful, and maybe can discuss them with your doctor.

If you find mylowerbackpain.com useful, please add a link to it from your website or blog.

Thanks, Steve.

The Bowen Technique is usually last on a list of potential therapies people try for back pain. Partly because it's not well known and partly because it is extremely effective.

I became a Bowen Therapist after I fractured my back horse riding and was a back pain sufferer for many years. I tried physio, osteopaths, deep tissue massage and most temporarily helped. Bowen was the ONLY thing that worked in the long term on my lower back problem.

Bowenhealing has information about the Bowen technique and testimonials from back pain sufferers plus other ailments successfully treated.

I am based in Cambridge but please give the Bowen Technique a try in your area.

Move Well, Avoid Injury

by Steve
(mylowerbackpain)

Move Well, Avoid Injury is a website designed to promote one thing - the Move Well, Avoid Injury DVD. According to the website, the DVD contains "two hours of 50 information rich sections that will be of great benefit to anyone who uses a computer, exercises, plays an instrument, dances or breathes".

(That's everyone, right?)

The site includes short extracts from the DVD - including elbows, hands, arms, balance, breathing - and of course, lower back.

I've not actually tried the DVD - if anyone does, please let me know what you think by adding a comment.
