If you have back pain, you need Sarah Key's Books!
Having had back pain for some time and having seen Doctors, Physiotherapists, Osteopaths, Chiropractors and Sports Therapists I can simply say that Sarah Key's books are the best and most helpful material I have yet found. I heartily recommend them to anyone with back pain. My experience has been one of surprise and frustration that I have been unable to find anyone who could explain to me what was going on inside my back and who could effectively do anything about it - until now!. Sarah's books - "New Back In Action" and "The Back Sufferers Bible" have provided me with greater understanding than any other source I have come across and has helped me diagnose the root causes of the problem. This book is in an easy to read format and an ideal book to have on your bedside for frequent brief reads.
anyone with only a hint of back trouble must read this book
Why is it that nobody else sees backs (or should I say, inside backs) the way Sarah Key does. I couldn't count the number of books I have read and the fruitless missions to specialists I have been on, all of which have turned up nothing but despair. Still my pain went on. When I got to the point of being sick of it all, sick of myself and sick of being robbed of my own youth and vitality I came across this neat little book. I had heard about Sarah Key's other book - The Back Sufferer's Bible - which I'd been sworn to buy, but somehow this one came across my path first. And what a gem it is. Full of sound advice and reasons for its easy-to-do-exercises (so I can junk all those other ones). It doesn't talk down to me and somehow it feels like a friend, helping me find a path through the morass of conflicting explanations. And I can tell you another thing, I'm sending off right away to buy the other one too! Thankyou Sarah Key, from the bottom of my back!
A beginners' guide to understanding low backpain
About 'Back In Action':
"Hello, Sarah Key here, just learning the ropes on writing in this new medium. Amazon.co.uk have done me so proud with my latest book, 'The Back Sufferers' Bible', I felt I'd use the opportunity to give an up-date on my first book, 'Back in Action'. I am very pleased (and relieved) to report it is coming out in its fifth edition in September 2000.
There has been a bit of a nail-biting over dear old 'Back In Action'. At one stage it was felt it might be overgilding the lilly to have two back books by Sarah Key, even though they are essentially two very different works. This book is a beginners' guide to understanding your back; answering all the commonly asked questions about backpain. On the other hand, 'The Back Sufferers' Bible' maps the sequence of breakdown of a spine, once it starts going wrong, and provides self treatment schedules for each phase.
'Back In Action' has developed a loyal following over the years, with people writing to me from all over the world. This new edition has been completely rewritten though in no way changed, if you get my drift. It still has its easy-to-understand layman's language, and sets about answering all those questions which never see the light of day. Ones like: 'What is causing my leg pain?', 'Do I need an operation?', 'What is good posture?', What is the best chair?', 'Can manipulation make me worse?', 'Is my depression causing my backache or am I depressed because of my backache?'. All is explained so that you, the sufferers, can understand. Because remember, understanding is half the cure.
