With a fresh approach to a common problem, this self-help guide to overcoming back pain advocates adopting the natural, healthy posture of athletes, young children, and people from traditional societies the world over. Arguing that most of what our culture has taught us about posture is misguided—even unhealthy—and exploring the current epidemic of back pain, many of the commonly cited reasons for the degeneration of spinal discs and the stress on muscles that leads to back pain are examined and debunked. The historical and anthropological roots of poor posture in Western cultures are studied as is the absence of back pain complaints in the cultures of Africa, Asia, South America, and rural Europe. Eight detailed chapters provide illustrated step-by-step instructions for making simple, powerful changes to seated, standing, and sleeping positions. No special equipment or exercise is required, and effects are often immediate.

Sa svježim pristupom uobičajenom problemu, ovaj vodič za samopomoć za prevladavanje bolova u leđima zagovara usvajanje prirodnog, zdravog držanja sportaša, male djece i ljudi iz tradicionalnih društava širom svijeta. Argumentirajući da je većina onoga što nas je naša kultura naučila o držanju tijela pogrešno - čak i nezdravo - i istražujući trenutnu epidemiju bolova u leđima, mnogi od najčešće citiranih razloga degeneracije kičmenih diskova i stresa na mišićima koji dovode do bolova u leđima su ispitan i razotkriven. Proučavaju se istorijski i antropološki korijeni lošeg držanja u zapadnim kulturama, kao i odsustvo pritužbi na bolove u leđima u kulturama Afrike, Azije, Južne Amerike i ruralne Evrope. Osam detaljnih poglavlja pruža ilustrirana detaljna uputstva za uvođenje jednostavnih, moćnih promjena u sjedećem, stojećem i spavaćem položaju.


Nearly 90% of American adults suffer from back pain, and the number continues to climb. Why does this condition affect so many people in the industrialized world, while in some countries only 5% of adults report back pain? In a quest to find the root cause of back pain, Esther Gokhale studied at the Aplomb Institute in Paris and traveled to parts of the world where back pain is virtually unknown. Her research took her to remote Burkina Faso, rural Portugal, and fishing villages in Brazil.

What she learned in each of these places has changed the lives of thousands of people. Preserved in the movements of weavers, millers, and farmers in more traditional societies is ancient body wisdom that prevents pain and enhances health. For the first time, these insights have been brought together in a step-by-step guide designed to help those suffering from back pain re-educate their bodies and regain the posture for which our bodies evolved.

Gotovo 90% odraslih Amerikanaca pati od bolova u leđima, a njihov broj se i dalje povećava. Zašto ovo stanje pogađa toliko ljudi u industrijaliziranom svijetu, dok u nekim zemljama samo 5% odraslih prijavljuje bolove u leđima? U potrazi za pronalaženjem osnovnog uzroka bolova u leđima, Esther Gokhale studirala je na Institutu Aplomb u Parizu i putovala u dijelove svijeta u kojima su bolovi u leđima gotovo nepoznati. Njeno istraživanje odvelo ju je u udaljenu Burkinu Faso, ruralni Portugal, i ribarska sela u Brazilu.

Ono što je naučila na svakom od ovih mjesta promijenilo je živote hiljada ljudi. U pokretima tkalaca, mlinara i farmera u tradicionalnijim društvima sačuvana je drevna mudrost tijela koja sprečava bol i poboljšava zdravlje. Po prvi put su ovi uvidi okupljeni u detaljnom vodiču osmišljenom kako bi pomogli onima koji pate od bolova u leđima da preodgoje svoja tijela i vrate položaj zbog kojeg su naša tijela bolna.
