8 Steps to a Pain-Free Back
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. But 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 gives you a clear, practical roadmap to get back on. You won't find gimmicks, gadgets, or time-consuming exercises--just tweaks to your everyday movement habits. Learn how to work at your desk, make a cup of coffee, walk the dog--even change the bed sheets--in ways that protect and strengthen your body instead of wearing and tearing it. When you respect your body's natural blueprint, every motion can become healing. A blend of modern medical insight and ancient body wisdom, the Gokhale Method(R) isn't a temporary fix--it's a return to the way your body is designed to move. Used by physicians, athletes, and hundreds of thousands of everyday people to solve pain without surgery, special equipment, or ongoing appointments Updated with new images, case studies, and evidence-based refinements A method so in tune with the way your body wants to move, you'll start feeling better from chapter one If you've tried everything--and nothing's worked--it's time to stop chasing symptoms and start addressing the root cause. Get ready to move the way you are meant to--gracefully, easefully, and pain free. "Every year tens of thousands of patients undergo major back surgery without any benefits. By using Gokhale's novel techniques, many of these patients can avoid such needless and expensive medical procedures, and quickly return to a pain-free life." -John R. Adler, M.D., Professor Emeritus of Neurosurgery, Stanford University Medical Clinic, California "I had nearly daily pain for 14 years. Sleeping was excruciating and I slept upright. Nothing I tried worked. I thought I would have to quit my job. The Gokhale Method has given my health back to me. I feel incredibly empowered because this is something I can do for myself every single day. I sleep soundly now lying completely down for almost the entire night. I am able to exercise more than ever. I am not missing any work. This is a new phase of my life!" - Leslie Lawrence, California "Before Gokhale, I could barely walk a few blocks in my neighborhood for exercise, having to stop several times due to back pain. Now I can walk an hour without any pain. I couldn't bend before without having to lie down afterwards and now my favorite thing is to bend and I have no pain. I used to wear a back brace most of the time and I have now put it away in my closet with no need for it." - Laura Weinberg, Iowa "During the past few weeks there have been moments when it feels like I'm moving in harmony rather than at odds with the world. Thank you, Esther, for figuring out and breaking down into a rudimentary, building-block-level how to get from pain to hope." - Deanne Bell, United Kingdom This updated second edition includes: - 600 new and updated images - New and refined techniques, including a fully revamped walking chapter - QR codes linking to videos of key techniques - Guidance on using tech without compromising your spine Esther Gokhale trained in science at Harvard and Princeton. The New York Times has dubbed Gokhale "The Posture Guru of Silicon Valley". She has taught the Gokhale Method at Google, Facebook, Kaiser Permanente, Sutter Health, UCSF, TEDx(Stanford), and consulted for major sports teams. The Gokhale Method is currently the subject of a Stanford clinical trial for back pain treatment.
