I never understood people who complained of back pain. Then in 2005 I was cleaning the front courtyard at my winter home in Arizona and while bending over felt a stab of pain that put me on the ground, literally. I’m not exactly sure what happened or why; it might have been lifting those grandchildren, exercising improperly, or sitting at the computer too long without a break. It doesn’t matter really, it happened. And I’ve struggled to recover since then.
Well, now I have a new friend to walk alongside of my chiropractor. It’s Lisa Morrone and her wonderful book Overcoming Back and Neck Pain. It’s a must have. Really. Don’t just sit there. Go out and buy it. Now. Not later.
Morrone provides an easily read and easily understood practical book about back and neck pain for the patient! She outlines, from A to Z the basics about back and neck pain and then helps the reader adjust, adapt and recover. She also reminds the reader that there is a difference between restoration and repair. Repair is often the quick fix. The restoration is a gradual learning of new ways, new behaviors to regain strength and flexibility. Morrone gives the three keys to getting motivated: pain, knowledge and encouragement–and then passes on that knowledge and encouragement.
So, learn how to fix your posture, how to stretch, find out what can go wrong and be fixed with your discs, the correct way to move, and so much more. Her directions are clear and concise and are accompanied by photos to help do the exercises properly. It’s helping me in ways I didn’t think possible. I’ve a long way to go, but this is a marvelous beginning.
