Free Back Advice Guide

In response to the growing number of people now suffering from back pain, TEMPUR, the leading manufacturer of pressure relieving mattresses and pillows - in association with BackCare, the charity for healthier backs - have launched a self-help guide to provide advice and practical tips to combat the symptoms.

The new guide - ‘Back on Track’ - addresses the causes of back pain, from medical conditions to lifestyle habits, and the different types of pain. Did you know that stress, your mattress, obesity and even smoking can all trigger or aggravate back pain?

The guide includes details of both conventional and alternative treatments and how they work, as well as highlighting preventative measures that can help to reduce the risks of a recurring problem - or even stop people suffering with a back complaint in the first place.

As well as identifying good practice in the work place, the guide includes some simple exercises that sufferers can try at home, as well as providing practical advice to help individuals manage their condition on a day-to-day basis. Handy tips include how to protect the back in the home and workplace, including posture advice and information about choosing a suitable mattress.
