Find out how to outwit the crooked back pain industry and take control of your own well-being with Cathryn Jakobson Ramin.
'Crooked - there are so many of us walking around that way….and this is an industry that, unfortunately, has some seriously devilish players.'
Lower back pain and standing crooked; a miserable and debilitating state of affairs.
If you've ever thrown your back out, you'll know how bad this can get. Muscles in spasm like a sheet of steel, you’re all bent out of shape - literally.
This episode is the first half of the interview with respected journalist and author Cathryn Jakobson Ramin.
She talks about her habitual bad posture and testy back.
This physical vulnerability was the backdrop to a stressful and demanding professional life. Typically she would spend hours hunched over her desk or cooped up in an aircraft seat.
The toxic mix set her on a downward spiral to almost constant back pain and a crooked body.
Cathryn describes
*the many different treatments and therapies she tried that didn't help at all.
*her growing suspicions that many others were also undergoing ineffective, even dangerous procedures.
*how she began to question who really benefits from this multi-billion dollar industry?
Over time she began to understand that a different approach was required.
Cathryn made it her business to find out how others had successfully overcome the problem she faced.
She observed a pattern. Avoiding physical activity, for fear of damaging a fragile spine, was often linked to further weakness and frailty. On the other hand, adherence to a suitable exercise programme seemed to have better results than passively receiving treatment.
Consequently she began a workout programme with the guidance of a ‘back whisperer’ – a trainer specialising in back pain rehabilitation.
Regular training, in the right way, now enables Cathryn to maintain good posture and sort out her own back problems.
This whole process prompted her to research and write her latest book.
Crooked - Outwitting the Back Pain Industry and Getting On the Road to Recovery is essentially two things:
1. an in-depth critique of the current state of treatment and therapy for back pain
2. a practical guide to effective self help
