“Back In Action” Book Description

Back in Action – USA
Back in Action: Backache Questions Answered – UKThis question-and-answer format guide offers straight answers to the most commonly asked questions about back pain and the treatments available, with illustrations to help make it even easier to understand. With clear explanations, it answers a range of questions, from the causes of back pain to the impact of everyday activities:
Do I have a slipped disc?
Should I try acupuncture?
Am I depressed because of my backache or is my depression causing my backache?
In which position should I sleep?
Is sex, housework, or my office chair bad for my back?
Key maintains that most back problems are caused simply by joint stiffness, and that by using physiotherapy to mobilize the stiff spinal links and practicing techniques and exercises to keep each vertebra separated and supple, people can have healthy backs. This book offers a daily self-treatment plan that shows how to strengthen a back and alleviate pain, as well as advice on the therapeutic benefits of yoga and exercises for coping with the pain often associated with long-distance travel.

Most Informative And Practical
T.Redford from Chester, VA (reviewed on amazon)
“This is my first review ever. I have owned this book for several years and it is the most informative and practical of all my back books. I always come back to it when I want to look up something or if something is bothering me (back). She shows you how to decompress your own spine and it works! At least it works for me. She also shows several good exercises.” Back in Action – USA

If you have back pain, you need Sarah Key’s Books!

Having had back pain for some time and having seen Doctors, Physiotherapists, Osteopaths, Chiropractors and Sports Therapists I can simply say that Sarah Key’s books are the best and most helpful material I have yet found. I heartily recommend them to anyone with back pain. My experience has been one of surprise and frustration that I have been unable to find anyone who could explain to me what was going on inside my back and who could effectively do anything about it – until now!. Sarah’s books – “New Back In Action” and “The Back Sufferers Bible” have provided me with greater understanding than any other source I have come across and has helped me diagnose the root causes of the problem. This book is in an easy to read format and an ideal book to have on your bedside for frequent brief reads.
Anyone with only a hint of back trouble must read this book

Why is it that nobody else sees backs (or should I say, inside backs) the way Sarah Key does. I couldn’t count the number of books I have read and the fruitless missions to specialists I have been on, all of which have turned up nothing but despair. Still my pain went on. When I got to the point of being sick of it all, sick of myself and sick of being robbed of my own youth and vitality I came across this neat little book. I had heard about Sarah Key’s other book – The Back Sufferer’s Bible – which I’d been sworn to buy, but somehow this one came across my path first. And what a gem it is. Full of sound advice and reasons for its easy-to-do-exercises (so I can junk all those other ones). It doesn’t talk down to me and somehow it feels like a friend, helping me find a path through the morass of conflicting explanations. And I can tell you another thing, I’m sending off right away to buy the other one too!
Thankyou Sarah Key, from the bottom of my back!
