Book Synopsis

Most people, at some point in their lives, will suffer from back pain or aches in their bones, muscles, and joints, but this need not be debilitating if you know how to look after your body properly. By paying careful attention to your posture, and by making some simple adjustments to the way you drive, work, eat, and exercise, you can give yourself the best chance of a healthy and pain-free life.

Divided into tabbed sections for ease of reference, this unique guide looks at different aspects of the body in turn. It includes:

  • Separate sections on the workings of your back, your bones, your joints, and your muscles
  • Information on common disorders and injuries—and when to seek professional help
  • Remedial exercises, simple self-treatment, and complementary therapies
  • Dietary and lifestyle advice to keep you as healthy and flexible as possible
  • Information on the body’s structure and the way we move
  • Advice on how aging affects us—and how to live a longer, stronger, more invigorated life
