Have you ever had back pain? What about neck and shoulder pain or repetitive strain? Passage of time may reduce these problems. However, time does not heal all wounds. You may be left with residual pain, disability and fear of recurrence if you have not learned how to take care of yourself.

Reading "Back Pain Solutions," you will learn:
* What causes back pain, neck pain and repetitive strain

* How you can control your symptoms
* How you can improve your posture
* How to build the confidence, sense of control and responsibility you need to move beyond pain
