Description

8 Steps to a Pain-Free Back by Esther Gokhale
With a fresh approach to a common problem, this self-help guide to overcoming back pain advocates adopting the natural, healthy posture of athletes, young children, and people from traditional societies the world over. Arguing that most of what our culture has taught us about posture is misguided—even unhealthy—and exploring the current epidemic of back pain, many of the commonly cited reasons for the degeneration of spinal discs and the stress on muscles that leads to back pain are examined and debunked. The historical and anthropological roots of poor posture in Western cultures are studied as is the absence of back pain complaints in the cultures of Africa, Asia, South America, and rural Europe. Eight detailed chapters provide illustrated step-by-step instructions for making simple, powerful changes to seated, standing, and sleeping positions. No special equipment or exercise is required, and effects are often immediate.


Stretchsit Cushion
The Stretchsit cushion helps transform most chairs into comfortable chairs that provide gentle traction. Unlike a lumbar support cushion, this cushion elongates rather than compresses your low back, giving you the natural, healthy spinal shape shared by children, athletes, and people in non-industrial societies the world over. No more compression, no more pain -- sit your way to a pain-free back! The stretchsit cushion is comfortable and easy to install and use.


The Stretchsit cushion comes with a removable extension strap that allows you to adapt the cushion to whatever chair you are in. When used regularly, it rejuvenates you by lengthening the long muscles of your back and providing more space for your spinal discs and nerves.
