Massage

At some time in their lives 8 out of 10 people in Britain will be stricken by back-pain. In all some 33 million working days are lost because of it. Back-pain makes more people, including many doctors, seek alternative treatment than any other ailment. In most cases back-pain is caused by sprains, strains and bad posture. Alternative therapist practitioners believe that back trouble can be reduced by at least 70% by adopting some simple exercises and therapies including pilates, massage and reflexology.
