Esther Gokhale's global bestseller turns back pain treatment on its head. Many of us are told it's normal to have back pain. That disc degeneration is inevitable after 50. That arthritic changes are par for the course. However, what if back pain isn't inevitable? What if it's simply a result of being disconnected from how we are meant to use our bodies? Dedicated to the millions of people who suffer unnecessarily from back pain, this updated edition of Esther Gokhale's classic bestseller reveals a surprising truth: our bodies are designed to function pain-free for close to a century--we're just not using them correctly. 8 Steps to a Pain-Free Back shows you how we got off track and the steps to fix it. You won't find gimmicks, gadgets, or time-consuming exercises--just tweaks to everyday movement habits. A blend of modern medical insight and ancient body wisdom, the Gokhale Method® isn't a temporary fix--it's a return to the way your body is designed to move.
