Testimonial

My mum gave me your book after I had tried physio for a while without any results. I committed to changing my posture and doing the exercises in the book and thanks to you, I'm now doing what I love again. I can't thank you enough for that! I don't know what I would be doing now if it weren't for your book. Thank you so much!

...and begin a life free of back pain!

This easy-to-follow patient handbook has sold over 4 million copies and has been translated into 18 different languages, since the first edition was published in 1980. It provides the reader with an active self-treatment plan to resolve and manage back pain.

The main thrust of the patient handbook, Treat Your Own Back is that management of your back is your responsibility. Once empowered with the knowledge and skills, this management becomes a simple process that is proven to work.

This publication contains over 100 pages of easily understood exercises and vital information to enable you to self-manage your back pain and gives the reader an insight into the cause and effect relationship which helps to prevent recurrence of back pain.

You can become independent of spinal manipulation or drugs that only treat the symptoms of your back pain, and not the cause. Just check out the research or the testimonials from readers who have found enormous relief from the "world's best-selling back book of all time".

This book is right for you if you suffer from recurrent low back pain, including:

Slipped Disc
Fibrosis
Lumbago
Arthritis in the back
Rheumatism
Sciatica

Sciatica is pain felt in the leg, often extending below the knee. It occurs when the sciatic nerves in the lower spine, which service our legs, are compressed or irritated.

Now completely revised and in its 6th edition, Treat Your Own Back has probably helped more people achieve freedom from back pain than any other publication.

A word of caution

In any of the following situations you should not commence the exercise programme of self-treatment without first consulting your health professional:

If you have pain in the leg below the knee and experience sensations of weakness, numbness or pins and needles in foot and toes.
If you have developed low back problems following a recent severe accident.
If, following a recent severe episode of low back pain, you have developed bladder problems.
If you are feeling generally unwell in conjunction with this attack of low back pain.
If you have a previous history of cancer or tumour
If you develop a fever, high temperature, or start sweating
If you develop any other symptoms in addition to your back pain

If you suffer from any of the above you may wish to seek advise from a health professional (to locate a credentialed or diplomaed McKenzie Institute-trained therapist in New Zealand visit The McKenzie Institute. For international locations, visit The McKenzie Institute International.)

See what our readers think of Treat Your Own Back

...if you don't understand why you have pain - you will not permanently lessen the pain or get rid of it all together.

The first half of this book is a gold mine. It tells you why you have pain, in other words it explains the mechanics of your back and what causes pain.

- A reader from Cleveland Ohio

I haven't had any severe back pain since I have been following the practices in this book. I have been almost entirely pain free for about five years now.

I intend to order several more copies of this book for my family members. A highly recommend book!
