SLEEP WITHOUT BACK PAIN:CHOOSE THE RIGHT Format: Paperback

A lot of people sleep on mattresses that are of poor quality. A good night's rest and a correct sleeping posture can however prevent the onset of a number of common back problems. Roughly 8 out of 10 people suffer from severe back pain at some point during their lives. Of those, almost 10% go on to develop chronic back problems. Sleep Without Back Pain helps you to minimize the risk of developing back pain. What should you look for when buying a mattress? Should you be thinking in terms of sleeping on an orthopedic or memory foam mattress? And which is the best position for sleeping? After reading this book you will be as informed as your physiotherapist or general practitioner (or even more so) about the benefits of a healthy spine.
