A Resource About Tips on Backache Prevention
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I suppose queries on the subject of low back pain, or more simply
backache, are as frequent as any question, and I have tried to respond with
suitable answers over the years. But since many backaches are due to weakened
and inflexible muscles caused by a life of inactivity, and since exercise is a
great way of dealing with the situation, I have been a bit handicapped in
getting the message across. I have always wanted to include the specific
details of helpful exercises, but couldn't include the illustrations that
would make it easy to understand. Now I have the tool I have been looking
for. It is the latest in MetLife's "Stay Well" series of informative
booklets. It's called "Preventing Backache" and it includes descriptions and
illustrations of 8 stretching exercises that are good for your back. With a
bit of work, it might only take from two to six weeks for you to see an
improvement in your condition. Send your request, with a stamped self
addressed business sized envelope to: "Preventing Backaches", Health and
Safety Education, Area 16-UV, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, One Madison
Avenue, New York, NY 10010.
