Americans pay over 85 billion dollars to treat back pain in the United States.  Wow!  That is a lot of money.   These therapies often do not allow the sufferer to deal with the causes of back pain: poor postural habits.  People have back pain because the carry themselves with far too much tension and collapse.  Lessons in this self care approach teach people to identify what they are doing that is causing and/or exacerbating their aches and pains.  Students of the technique also learn to move with efficiency and far less muscular effort.  If people are using less muscular effort to sit, stand, drive, and work on the computer, they will have less back pain.
