Based on breakthrough results from the newest scientifically proven research, this guide offers back-pain sufferers real relief—simple exercises that target the exact muscles that have been newly identified to be the source of most back pain.If you are one of the millions who suffer from recurring back pain, and have found that your attempts at complicated and time-consuming exercise programs and treatments have not helped, it’s time to learn the simple techniques that strengthen the specific muscles that are at the root of your pain. Start living free from pain now!When physical therapist Jim Johnson reviewed the back-pain studies in peer-reviewed medical journals published over the past fifteen years, he found that the research suggested that a specific set of muscles played a key role in a great majority of back-pain incidences. The results showed that most back-pain sufferers have undeveloped multifidus (mull-tiff-i-dus) muscles. These muscles connect the spinal vertebrae together and play a subtle, but critical, role in bending and twisting motions of the back. If they are weak, inflamed, or in spasm, they can cause chronic back pain. In response to these findings, Johnson devised a simple series of exercises that focus on strengthening the multifidus muscles—and had fabulous results in reducing back pain for a variety of patients.

Walking through the Sun Stand and move into the liquid of light Yielding your body The glue that holds all things together is dissolving Not melting Mixing with the wind Floating with dandelion puffs All aroar with silence See the fences Heavy hewn logs and planks Fine wires strung tautly on polished poles These came after the Pine and the Birch Who never knew Holding back or letting go Now we move through fences on our way back to Moving through everything I can feel my body moving through thin bark curls Feel the texture of the rings Passing through the dense heart Lingering to notice melding life forces My nerves and bones and blood Mixing with her sap I can taste it Still It’s easier to move through trees than brush Harder still Is that complete yielding That comes when moving through Oxalis blossoms and tufts of fine grass We have stood with the ones who move Now We move in all directions Standing and not standing in the one space Soon we will Take the appearance of singing and dancing arm in arm Soon we will Walk through planets into the sun

About 20 years ago a friend did a horoscope on me and asked how my writing was going? I responded with writing? I can't even spell! She gave me a dictionary and that was the start of my first book. Another friend and I got into screen pays and even had an agent only to have that fall apart. Later my step daughter wanted a bed time story which which I made up and it became the first of a series of books like Dr. Sause. I called them My little deries which are yet to be published. The Hammer and the nail is my first kids book. I have eight more and two self help books and five screen plays which have yet to be published or made into movies. This time it won't take 20 years.
