Demolishing the myths about back pain

Death, taxes and Low back pain

"There are three certainties in life: death, taxes and low-back pain.

Up to 80% of all adults experience back problems and back pain is a leading cause of doctors’-office visits, hospitalisation, surgery, and work disability.

In the US alone, the annual combined cost of back-pain related medical care and disability compensation is estimated at 50 billion dollars, or about 35 billion pounds.

Low-back pain is one of the most common maladies which sports-active people have to face.

So you would think that with all those troubled backs hanging around out there, both in the regular and sports world, sports-medicine experts should know just about everything there is to know about healing backs, right? Think again!

In fact, many of the most popular beliefs about caring for athletes’ backs have little support from scientific research. It is highly likely that up to this very moment you have been treating the myths as ‘gospel’."

Dear How To Win Reader

Our special issue of Sports Injury Bulletin demolishes the myths about low back pain.

We know the right kind of exercise resolves back pain and prevents it from returning. However, most people do the wrong kind of exercise!

Sports Injury Bulletin discovered that many of the most popular beliefs about caring for your back have little or no scientific support. Several of these beliefs, which up to now have been treated as ‘gospel’, are exposed as myths.

Click here to receive this special issue of Sports Injury Bulletin (issue number 25) on free trial, or read on to know more about the myths of low-back pain.

For example, many believe that to protect your back, you should strengthen your torso muscles i.e. you abs and your low-back muscles. In fact, although this makes ‘intuitive’ sense, studies show that building muscle strength will not protect you from future back trouble.

Another example myth is that to protect your back you should perform your sit-ups with bended knees. It turns out there is nothing in scientific literature to support this proposition either.

Clearly, it can be dangerous to rely on word-of-mouth or hearsay.

Exercise that pain away in 80 seconds

The article in Sports Injury Bulletin describes how many people waste hours on time-consuming exercises that don’t do the job. The time you save by dropping the wrong exercises could be put to far better use.

You’ll read how the right exercise takes just 80 seconds! As it takes longer than this just to clean your teeth, this is something really worthwhile most of us can put into immediate use.

If, like me, you want to start right away, send for your copy of Sports Injury Bulletin today. It’s on free trial so if for some reason you don’t want to continue your subscription you can cancel your order.

How do the exercises work?

Sports Injury Bulletin explains how the right kind of exercise quickly builds up the endurance of the back’s core stabilising muscles. The costly mistake people make is to build up the strength of the stomach and back muscles, rather than endurance. The unfortunately result is that the back ache regularly recurs - - with all it’s knock-on effects.

This kind of recurrence is the clearest signal that these out-dated, over-long routines aren’t working – and should be dropped.

Here is what one satisfied customer said about our advice:

"Sir,

after reading your recent back pain report I began doing the static strengthening excercise suggested by Owen Anderson. I have been living with a dull, non specific low back pain for almost a year and thoracic and cervical pain for 3-4 months. After the FIRST try, which I included in my usual circuit session, I awoke the following morning and sprang out of bed - painfree! I have since replaced my usual back extensions with this one exercise and have been sleeping and waking as if on a new mattress. I think I found a weakness.

Yours

John McPake

ps I also started using the hamstring strengthening excercises using the Swiss Ball and have knocked a full minute from my 10Km PB in only 8 weeks. Keep up the good work with two of the best publications on the market"

Why you should start today

Sports Injury Bulletin’s quick, easy exercises aren’t just for athletes. The core stabilising muscles are needed in all kinds of situations - whether you plan to do heavy weight lifting or simply sit at your desk for a couple of hours. Every day we put a strain on our lower back, often without realising it.

Without building the core muscles and the all-important ‘endurance factor’, you have back trouble just waiting to happen.

Here is what another satisfied customer said about our advice:

"I developed Plantar Fasciitis over the Christmas hols and was given painkillers and instructed to rest - not easy with hubby and son needing looking after. Missing my independence and getting cabin fever to boot, I started to trawl the net for a solution. Injections, operations, heel pads and drugs were all suggested, but it wasn't until I visited your excellent site that I found real help.

What I had been doing was 'tip-toeing' to avoid putting the affected heel to the floor, and also to avoid pulling the bit that was hurting. I didn't realise I was compounding the problem.

After reading your brilliant (and thorough) article on the subject, I bit the bullet. At first the entire heel was painful with pins and needles, but as the blood started to circulate this improved. In fact, it took only a couple of days for a 75% improvement, and I had been almost immobile for over a month. Thank you again!"
