Buy Program One Now

Program One is designed to address the most common underlying causes of pain in the center or across the low back with or without pain into one or both buttocks. You may have had pain in your thigh that has gotten a little better and now you are left with pain in the center or across the back. Program One describes the underlying causes of low back pain, principles of recovery, recommended products (or how to improvise them), specific exercises, body mechanics, precautions, a re-activation program and instructions on how to proceed if the program is not effective for you.

Program One may be appropriate for you if you experience a symmetrical (even) distribution of pain across the low back that may or may not include pain into both buttocks. The pain should NOT be in your thigh, calf or foot (see Program Two for these symptoms).

Program One contains the following sections:

  • Condition Profile - Describes the typical symptoms that occur with this type of low back pain.
  • Causes of Low Back Pain - Describes the typical causes of low back pain.
  • Principles of Recovery - Describes what 'recovery from low back pain' means and suggests practical habits to adopt in your daily routine to avoid injuring your back.
  • Recommended Products - Describes products that are used or referenced in this program.
  • Positions and Exercises - Easy to follow, step-by-step instructions and exercises with simple illustrations that may help your low back pain.
  • Prevention - Suggestions on how to prevent low back pain in the future.

Program Two is specifically designed to deal with persistent buttock, thigh or calf pain (sciatica). Sciatica typically starts as low back pain, progresses to asymmetrical (on one side) buttock pain and then moves into the thigh and eventually into the calf and foot. Once symptoms appear below the knee, a person may also experience numbness, tingling and weakness. Besides experiencing leg pain, patients describe the pain as a continuous or intermittent throbbing and/or tooth ache.
