About this title

Synopsis

This worldwide standard text shows you how you can overcome neck and back pain by following a straightforward four-part program.

Eighty-five per cent of all Australians suffer from neck and back pain - the figures are very similar for Europe and the Americas. Frequently these people have tried everything from manipulation and acupuncture to physiotherapy and in some cases surgery with varying degrees of success.

The method described here provides a proven program that in most cases will enable you to overcome your back pain permanently. By careful self-analysis of the problem and then through stretching, strengthening, relaxing and improving your posture, you will experience a remarkable improvement in your back and neck problems as well as an overall sense of improved well being.

Using the principles of Eastern and Western medicine, Kit Laughlin has designed a system that provides a way to stop back and neck pain, and which will protect you against future injury.

About the Author

Kit Laughlin studied oriental medicine during a five-year stay in Japan and, on his return to Australia, was the Japanese ambassador's personal shiatsu practitioner. In 1988 he was asked to treat the prime minister of Japan during his visit to Australia, the first time a Westerner had been asked to provide such a service.

Laughlin was awarded a Master of Letters degree in 1992 from the Science Faculty of the Australian National University, and currently is doing research for a Ph.D. dissertation in which back pain is the key case study.

Laughlin originated the Posture & Flexibility and Strength & Flexibility courses that have been run by the Australian National University Sports Union for the last eleven years. Assisted by fourteen teachers whom he trained, Laughlin has taught these courses to thousands of students of all ages and levels of fitness, with proven results. He is the presenter of the acclaimed Overcome Neck & Back Pain seminars and the author of a forthcoming book, "Introduction to Posture & Flexibility."
