It’s no secret that lower back pain is amongst the top ‘productivity drainers’ and ‘health budget sappers’ affecting every country in the entire world. So, no doubt somebody that reads this will be a lower back pain sufferer.

Every Monday for the next 10 weeks I’m going to post one of my ‘secret tips to avoiding lower back pain…’

Here’s tip no 1

1. Be careful

Basic I know, but a large percentage of the mechanical lower back injuries that I see result from doing something silly — lifting something obviously too heavy, “because there was no one to help me” or spending all day gardening when the last time you were in the garden was last summer!

The first 10 people to email me with what the 10 secrets are (after week 10!!) will receive a free copy of my 2 disc ‘Simply Stretching’ and ‘Staying Healthy Simply’ DVD / CD set. Who’s up for the challenge? – email me at klentin@iafrica.com Postage anywhere in the world (as long as there’s a Post Office!!!)
