Fixing You: Back Pain 2nd edition significantly expands upon the top-selling first edition. Rick Olderman physical therapist, personal trainer, Pilates instructor, and certified Hanna Somatics practitioner presents a new pattern of problems creating back pain: side-bending problems. Side-bending problems involve an uneven pelvis and rib cage and Olderman shows how to easily detect and fix it. If you have pain on one side of your back or sciatic pain down one of your legs, it’s likely you have a side-bending problem. Understanding why you have pain is central to fixing your pain. Fixing You: Back Pain 2nd edition offers you more tests to help you precisely understand the causes of your pain. To permanently fix your pain must change how you use your body. Fixing You: Back Pain 2nd edition teaches you how to sit, walk, bend over, and sleep better. These activities often harbor the most subtle yet egregious issues feeding your pain. Often there are issues operating in the background contributing to your pain. These problems set you up for failure and pain.

Likewise elbow pain such as tennis elbow also is influenced by the shoulder blade and upper arm bone. This book teaches you, using simple language and plenty of illustrations, how to fix the issues causing pain in both areas.
