The Back Fix

Why is back pain the world's greatest disability?

Why aren't the fixes we buy working?

What are the 10 things researchers want us to know about our backs?

The Secret to fixing our back pain lies not within medication, repeat 'treatments' or surgery. It lies deeply rooted within our lifestyle, mindset and behaviour in the way we behave as an animal.

Movement is Medicine - it is the missing link - the active ingredient in treating our back pain - whether highly-trained, elite athletes, sedentary office workers or manual labourers.
