Causes of Back, Neck and Shoulder Pain outlines some of the likely causes of back, neck and shoulder pain and introduces you to some of the key strength and flexibility exercises you need to do to get your body back in better alignment.

 

Do that and there's a good chance the pain will go away.

 

An inability to sit up straight is a major cause of lower back pain. Tight calf, hamstring and buttock muscles take the pelvis and the bones above it out of alignment. Giving the spot where it hurts a rub down and a crunch isn't going to loosen off tight muscles or strengthen weak ones.

 

I said to this bloke, 'Sit up straight.' He said, 'I am.'

 

WELCOME TO THE

CROOKBACK CLINIC

 

The CrookBack Clinic is a musculo-skeletal health program designed to get your body back into better alignment. Do that and the pain goes away.

 

If you've got a crook back, sore shoulder or stiff neck, there is a good chance that tight and weak muscles somewhere in your body have taken bones out of alignment.

 

The principles on which the CrookBack Clinic is based are neither a branch of rocket surgery or junk medicine, just careful observation of the clues that point to the likely cause(s) of your dysfunction and then the prescription of exercises which stand a good chance of restoring poor function to good.

 

Alignment alignment alignment

If the fundamental principle of real estate is location, location, location, the fundamental principle of musculo-skeletal function is alignment, alignment, alignment.

 

Miller's first law

A body in alignment stays in alignment unless acted upon by a force. Just think about which forces have been acting on your body to force some bones out of alignment.

 

The distinction between a dysfunction and an injury

The CrookBack method makes the distinction between a dysfunction and an injury.

 

Dysfunctions occur gradually, over the years and decades as muscles gradually shorten, frequently do to our habitual posture, particularly when sitting down. The dysfunctions are personally generated and based on the law of too much and too little. e.g. what do you do too much of that has caused your dysfunction? What do you do too little of that has caused your dysfunction?

 

Injuries usually involve some kind of trauma - such as a sudden twist or the lifting of a load that's too heavy resulting in the tearing of muscles, tendons and ligaments.

 

The CrookBack Clinic aims principally to correct the personally generated musculo-skeletal dysfunctions.

 

In the palliative age there is always the tendency for people with musculo-skeletal dysfunction to blame something or someone external to themselves for their dysfunction. The CrookBack Clinic sheets the blame home to your own lack of strength and flexibility. In the vast majority of cases the pain from musculo-skeletal dysfunction is self-generated.

 

The good news about that is that if you have generated the pain there's a fair chance you can 'ungenerate' it, particularly if you catch it early enough.

 

It seems to be a sign of our times that people want someone else to do something to them to relieve their pain. They seek palliation. You can't sub contact out your own strength and flexibility training program.

 

In an age where the simple has become complicated and the cheap has become expensive, the CrookBack Clinic stands out like a beacon attracting people to a centre where they can learn how to get their bodies back into alignment by improving their strength and flexibility.

 

It's a very cost effective way to relieve your pain and improve your mobility.

 

If the exercises recommended in the CrookBack training program are done on a regular and systematic basis you should soon start to feel better as bones are drawn back into better alignment. If the exercises are accompanied by other therapeutic modalities, there is a high likelihood that the therapy will speed up the rehab process. It will not, however take the place of the things your need to do for yourself.

 

I'd go as far as to say that for 80% of people there is an 80% chance that they will fix themselves up to the point where function is restored to 80% of normal.
