Back Pain Info

Written on August 31, 2007 – 2:19 pm | by Optahealth |

A new DVD provides easy to follow instruction in simple, fluid movements inspired by QiGong and physical therapy to maintain a flexible, pain-free spine. When people are fearful of pain they tend to hold their back or neck still, even wear a brace, to avoid movement. This stillness, however, promotes increased tension and spasms and, ultimately, pain. Pain often radiates to the shoulder, neck and arm or down the leg – sciatica.

Gentle Movement is the Key

Emphasis is on gentle movement rather than stretching or strengthening. These movements can reduce or eliminate back and neck pain and enable patients to manage their pain – often without medication, surgery or braces. With minimal repetitions, spasms are relaxed, flexibility increased and pain and numbness reduced. Patients can resume normal activities.

Complements other Treatments or Therapies 

This DVD can enhance or extend the benefits of treatments by chiropractors, osteopaths, massage therapists, acupuncturists, zero balancers, physical therapists and other health care providers.

Tips included to help you get and stay, pain free

Valuable quick tips provide instructions to improve comfort when riding in a car, sleeping, walking, standing, sitting or lifting. Heat and cold, and a relaxed posture can also minimize pain and spasms.

Easy to Learn – Time Efficient 

These gentle movements are simple and easy to learn with the help of the follow along DVD. Exercises or movements can be completed in 5 -10 minutes and are performed standing, sitting or lying down. Detailed written instructions are included with the DVD. Through www.backnmotion.net You can see a short “clip” of the video before you purchase it. Cost is $19.95 plus S&H.
