Getting yourself an Ergonomic chair is one of the best things you can do for your back, especially if you have to sit the better part of the day. In fact, I bought the Ergonomic Chair I am using in my office from a Chiropractor who manufacturers them.
But how much do you think an Ergonomic Chair will help if you have some underlying problem?
Will it make your back pain disappear? I don’t think so, despite what the most convincing Ergonomic Chair sales person in the world may tell you.
Don’t get me wrong. I believe in ergonomic chairs and the countless benefits they offer. But in some cases your chair
or bad sitting posture is not the reason for your back pain.Sometimes there are other reasons.
This brings me to the point I want to discuss with you. I recently read a book called the 7 Day Back Pain Cure by Jesse Cannone. In the book the author explains in plain English the various possible causes of back pain.
One of the possible causes that immediately caught my attention was muscle imbalances.
Why? The funny thing is that it has nothing to do with back pain. Let’s rewind a few years. I used to do athletics at school and suffered from a niggling injury that would make its unwelcome appearance just as I was getting into top form. It was really frustrating to spend hours training and then to get blocked by the injury. Then one day, a top senior athlete visited our school and discussed with us the importance of weight training and muscles that are in balance. After that visit I increased my weight training and also trained all the muscles in my legs. Before I would mostly train the front part of the legs as they were stronger and I guess easier to train.
What happened? For a start my performance drastically improved. And yes, that was the end of the niggling injury. It never appeared again. Never. Since that day I do not underestimate the importance of muscles that are in balance.
Now let’s get back to the book.
I like it a lot. For a start, I received it for free. Actually not free, I had to pay the postage. But I can live with that.
Various possible causes of back pain are discussed. It includes the obvious causes like physical problems, but also the less obvious causes like the mind and even your diet. And most importantly, the book tells you what to do about it. There are pain relief plans for lower, upper and neck pain, herniated discs, sciatica, scoliosis, spinal stenosis and sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
Does it work? I cannot guarantee that it will work for you. But countless people have reported amazing results.
Go and visit their website and have a look for yourself. The book is on the house (theirs not mine) so you have nothing to lose (except your back pain). You can get the book here.

i have backpains after work. what i do is get some relaxing massage and yoga.
i also have backaches due to my blue collar job. stretching also helps reduce backaches:~*
Yes Francesca.
Massage is one of the teatments discussed in the book. It is also good to relax the muscles and to reduce stress. The author of the book states that he prefers a relaxing massage to a deep tissue massage, as he feels the deep tissue massage frequently activates dormant trigger points (another cause for back pain).
I agree Millie. Stretching is also good, especially for muscle flexibility. And tight muscles can also cause back pain.
i have some slight back pain and stretching helps a bit to reduce its severity::`
