Ever had the dreaded back pain? Ever cried for relief for lower back pain?

Low-back pain. Mid-back pain. Upper back and neck pain.

Ouch… they are all killers.

I have a friend who had such horrible back pain that she could not do hardly anything anymore. And she was only 41 years old. Far too young to be practically immobile.

Years ago back pain like this was only treatable with surgery. To-day most of the time natural alternatives can work wonders.

In my friend’s case she tried the usual treatments and techniques. Chiropractors — and I love chiropractic care by the way… but it did not work for her. Rehab — working with a physical therapist. Nothing. Zilch, Nada.

About a year ago I turned her on to The Healthy Back Institute. I know how hard the owner of the institute has worked to produce some really awesome back pain solution products.

His company grew like crazy because the stuff they were producing “worked”.  The solutions that Healthy Back offers worked for my friend too. She is 95% OK now, and able to do just about anything she wants.

But it’s more than just getting relief for lower back pain that you need to be concerned with. That’s the “last” solution. Waiting until the pain is there is not the best plan. We need back pain “prevention” –especially if you are over the age of 35.

I do specific exercises to keep my back strong. The Healthy Back Institute agrees. One specific thing I do is a variation on a yoga stretch. It’s hard to explain in writing, but I’ll try:

First, you spread your legs a bit wider than your shoulders. Then you turn your feet to a 90-degree angle with both toes pointed either toward your left side or your right side.

This may feel odd at first, so be sure to brace yourself against a fixed object until you get the balancing act down.

So your “body” is facing forward but your “feet” are turned, pointing ether left or right. Try to get as close to a perfect 90 degree angle as you can. The sides of your feet should be straight when you look down.

Then put your arms straight out to your sides once you get your balance.

Now, slowly bend to the side your toes are pointing while slowly turning your body toward that side, bending down as if you were going to touch that toe. The trick is your “other” foot remains in the same place. Stretch comfortably, then switch your feet and point them the other direction. Your body is still facing forward. Then repeat the stretch to the new direction.

I know it sounds complicated. But once you do it a few times it becomes second nature.

Now, this is for back pain “prevention”. There are many, many more exercises you can do, both for prevention and for current lower back and upper back/neck pain.

I’d like you to go see what Healthy Back has to offer.

And unlike a text-only email, they can “show” you what to do for pain – both prevention and current pain.
