MORE ABOUT JOHN MILLER

John Miller is about 65 years of age and about average height and weight.

He's about your average level of fitness and can run about 45 laps of the 20m lap run in five minutes. He can fill a good unforgiving minute's worth of situps and pressups and finds great benefit in doing about 30 minutes of strength and flexibility exercises on three days of the week.

He's about average in sporting ability, being at the top of those who are hopeless and the bottom of those who are any good.

He is a graduate physical educator from Adelaide University who runs corporate health management seminars, specialities being the Seven Habits of Fit and Healthy People, Work-Life Balance and How to Fix Up a Crook Back. You can find out more about these programs by going to www.millerhealth.com.au

He used to own a fitness centre, FiT AND HEALTHY in the Canberra suburb of Macquarie.

He likes to wake up at about 6.30am most mornings and 3 or 4 times a week gets on the stepper for about 30 minutes or goes for a run with Frank, Noel and the two Peters.

About 7 years ago he hurt his back. It felt like about 10%, (where 100% is perfect and 0% is wretched.) He couldn't sneeze or cough the pain was so bad, but with the exercises he knew at the time it gradually got to about 70% better - but it still hurt to sneeze.

To cut a long story short he found out about Pete Egoscue and bought his book Pain Free.  This is the best book around on the cause and treatment of musculo-skeletal dysfunction. (You'd be a mug not to get a copy.) He visited the Egoscue Clinic as a paying customer in September 2000 and came away with a better insight as to what he had to do to fix his back up completely.

In September 2000 he spent about 100 hours slumped in front of the idiot box watching the Sydney Olympic Games and eating chocolate sultanas. His back went from better to worse. In fact about all he got out of the Olympics was a fat guts and a crook back.  It went back to about 10/100 - it really hurt. (All the mug taxpayers of Australia got out of the Olympics was a bill for $8B.)

Being of under average intelligence it took a while for the penny to drop, but when it did he started doing more strength and flexibility exercises, particularly the ones he had been shown at the Egoscue Clinic in San Diego and which he'd read about in the book Pain Free.

In about a month there was a noticeable difference. In about six months, function was well over 90%. Then in about March of 2002 he was shown a couple of extra exercises to loosen the muscles around the hips and lower back and as a result, function is now about 97%, which he thinks is pretty good.

Strange as it may seem, people kept coming up to him and showing him more exercises that they'd found useful. He added them to his repertoire.

A few years ago, his mother Doreen asked him to send her some exercises which she could do to fix up her back. That's when he wrote the book, 'How to Fix Up a Crook Back' which ended up becoming the Fix Back Pain series of ebooks. The books are is dedicated to Doreen's memory.

That ebooks are  available from the website that has been especially set up to market it, www.globalbackcare.com
