Read what HanaHK has to say about The Yoga for Back Pain Toolkit

blog image I was hired to do the voiceover work for the audio version of Yoga for Back Pain and as I started the narration, I found myself drawn into the book and the wonderful concepts presented there to ease not only back pain in general, but for lower back pain and neck pain as well! These exercises for back pain are phenomenal! Anyone looking for relief from back pain and or neck pain needs to turn away from the medicine cabinet and pick up a copy of the book Yoga for Back Pain.

I never considered yoga for lower back pain, which has been my problem. But Joy's book really explains these exercises for relieving back pain in a way that anyone can understand. This is a user friendly book for anyone looking to use yoga as their exercise of choice for relieving backaches and other pain. There are so many companies that offer all sorts of remedies for back pain, but I havent found anything that makes as much sense as Yoga for Back Pain.

If youre suffering from back pain, you have to buy this book; then get out your mat and start on the path to pain-free living!

LLOYD'S TESTIMONIAL

I am happy to give a testimonial for your book because coming to your Thursday classes and introducing me to your teacher, Mary Stewart, made a difference to my physical wellbeing that I will always be grateful for.

I'd always been really fit and played football and squash on a regular basis, however, about 15 years ago I developed an acute back problem that was so crippling, I couldn't even touch my toes. As for playing football, well forget that!

At that time, just sitting still on a chair was a challenge. When you saw how much pain I was in, you encouraged me to come to your yoga class but I was sceptical. However, the pain got so bad that I decided to give yoga a try. After all, I thought, what have I got to lose? One night, it was so bad, I decided, I would just turn up at the class.

I have to admit, initially, it was a real challenge. I couldn't do half the things that others in the class could manage. However, as I got to know the group, I realised that everyone had their own individual problems, and they encouraged me to keep at it.

It wasn't easy confronting my limitations, and it was hard for someone like me, whose buzz was high performance sports, to be patient in terms of results. However, Joy created an environment which was supportive and friendly and we learned how to help each other and have fun too. Over the years the class became a really important part of my life, and this was completely unexpected. To my surprise, I found myself wanting to practice on my own, and even to this day, I still practice and enjoy the benefits it brings.

Attending your Thursday class Joy, completely changed my life, for the better, and allowed me to return to playing high performance sports e.g. squash and football, which I still play today. It's a tribute to your teaching that you inspired me to take yoga into my life and make it work for me.

Yoga For Back Pain New Bag, New Back!
Posted on Thu, 16 Oct 2008 11:26:44 by Clare Elson

blog image The Healthy Back Bag is the world's first "backbag". Designed to ease the back pain experienced by one in three UK adults, it has both style and health in mind. A feat of ergonomic design, the one-strap backbag contours to the natural curve of the spine and makes a heavy load feel significantly lighter.

The Healthy Back Bag does for bags what the likes of Birkenstock and Crocs have done for footwear in making it cool to be comfortable.

About The Healthy Back Bag Company

Developed with the help of a chiropractor and a doctor, The Healthy Back Bag's patented teardrop design efficiently distributes weight across key touchpoints through the length of the whole bag. This differs from standard shoulder bags which pull from one point on the shoulder. The result is to vastly reduce stress to the back, shoulders and neck. The backbag can be carried on either shoulder, across the back or across the chest, always allowing easy access to the inside without having to take the backbag off. The 'non-slip' strap lining prevents the annoying slippage common to most shoulder bags.

Every backbag features smart and inventive details, from the clever compartments, key hook and branded zipper pulls through to the signature silver lining that makes for stress-free rummaging.
Priscilla Chase, UK director of

The Healthy Back Bag Company explains the idea behind the backbag: 'All of us often need to carry heavy loads, but until now this meant putting up with stress and strain to our backs. Now anyone can use a bag designed with a sound medical rationale that looks good too.'

View the full range of Healthy Back Bags at The Healthy Back Bag Company Prices range from 27 pounds to 69 pounds in various fabrics and from 85 pounds to 139 pounds in leather. Alternatively, click here to see our Online Brochure



General Solution to Sleep Disturbances Caused by Back Pain
Posted on Tue, 07 Oct 2008 03:42:15 by Wei-Shin

blog image Living with back pain can often have major repercussions on ones life, and only a back pain sufferer can really understand the misery of living with this condition. Many people find that their sleep quality is seriously affected and lack of sleep can often exacerbate this condition. People can get caught in a cyclical pattern of sleep deprivation and stress. There is little more depressing than being in constant pain topped by endless, sleepless nights. If ones sleep was improved, the body would have more chance of healing itself, and the sufferer would get some respite from their misery.
Many back pain victims become desperate, and feel they have no choice, but to resort to traditional sleeping pills; sometimes nothing else will do. However, when it comes to sleep, you have to be aware that many pain killers are not compatible with sleeping tablets and should not be taken together.
Ideally, it is always better to not depend on medication as there can be long-term complications. The more medication one takes, the more one starts to rely on it. It's always worth trying some natural techniques first. They may or may not work for you, but it's unlikely they will do you any harm and are a much safer alternative.
There is a new music and sound technology available called binaural beats, and it is becoming hugely popular. Research has shown that these rhythms can help to reduce anxiety, and this technology has helped literally thousands of people fall asleep faster, and sleep more soundly. The binaural beats needs stereo separation in order to work effectively, as the signals are targeted to the right and left sides of the brain. The only way they work successfully is through stereo headphones. Of course it's not very comfortable to wear traditional headsets in bed, so headphones for sleeping in were invented! SleepPhones are so comfortable that they are called Pajamas for your Ears.
You don't need to have back pain to enjoy SleepPhones. They are so soft and fleecy, it will be morning before you know it!
