10 Early Warning Signs of Arthritis to Watch Out For...

I’m sure you’ve noticed that, as you’ve become a little older, you’ve got all sorts of aches and pains in places you didn’t have when you were younger.  I know I have, and it’s sort of worrying to think about it!

You’re likely wondering if that grinding in your knees as you walk down the stairs is a cause for concern – or if the weakened grip as you try to open a jar is normal -- and possibly an early sign of Arthritis.  

 My Mum had two types of arthritis and I watched her go through so much pain and felt so helpless. I wanted to do something to help her so much but I did not have the knowledge. She had medications from the doctors but they never seemed to totally take away the pain and of course, had side effects she had to deal with too.

As my Mum had arthritis I am now taking even more care and keeping an eye on my body and watching out for any early signs of arthritis.

If like me you are wanting to look after your body and maybe have some concerns over Arthritis , you’re really going to find today’s article below from Dr. Mark Wiley extremely helpful… because in it he once and for all clears up if you’re already doomed or whether or not you even need to be concerned…

APOLOGIES ARTICLE NOW UNAVAILABLE (26.2.24)

If you already have Arthritis, you’re still going to love this article because he also reveals how you can actually reverse its effects with simple changes in your diet alone.  

And even if you yourself don’t have Arthritis now, you are in the best position of all because this will give you the road map to preventing it along with a host of other related health conditions.  

I love being active as possible and want to be able to do my garden, go walking, travel and do what I want to do as long as possible. I saw my Mum struggle with things and the increasing help she required. She was fiercely independent but she did need help with all sorts of things from opening jars to later on walking.

If I had known about this Arthritis Reversed book then I might have been able to advise her better. Anyway you can benefit from it so it makes me happy to be able to share with you. Imagine how great it’s going to be to finally be able to do all the things that your arthritis or joint pain has been keeping you from…

Don’t wait around for Arthritis to claim you as its next victim… and if it already has, it’s time for you to fight back and win!

Therapeutica Sleeping Pillow

If you have back pain, sciatic pain or neck pain often sleep can be a real issue. If you have no problems you rarely give a good night's sleep a thought, but when it is difficult to sleep getting to sleep and staying asleep can turn into a full-time preoccupation.
It is very important when trying to rest that our pillow is comfortable and that it helps with good spinal alignment, so helping to keep the spine in a good neutral position, reducing stress.
So anything that can help us to get a good night's sleep is a huge help. I recently discovered this pillow that looks like it could be extremely helpful for some people. Therapeutica Sleeping Pillow, Large Adult, White

It says that this pillow allows us to sleep on our back or side and helps correct spinal alignment and helps relax muscles. It is made of foam. This is important to me as I tend to sleep on my back and then my side for part of each night. By the way, usually, it is not recommended for us to sleep on our stomach if we have back issues as it is difficult to maintain a good spinal alignment in that position.   
It has a cervical contour that helps maintain a good natural curve of the neck, a wedge extension that supports our upper back for when we sleep on our backs, a raised side panel to accommodate the shoulder and a center cavity to provide head support and comfort when sleeping on our backs.   
I do think it may take a little time to get used to this pillow at least a week or two as especially if we have incorrect posture it may feel strange at first, it does look an odd shape! However, it also appears very good for us.  
 Therapeutica Sleeping Pillow, Large Adult, White
Do read the reviews, most are very positive and they may help you to decide if this pillow will be good for you. Choosing a pillow is a very personal thing but I find some of the detailed reviews very helpful. Also, read the Questions and answer section which was useful. Bear in mind that it does come in different sizes as well so order carefully.

A Personal Review Of "Lose the Back Pain" System

My Personal Review Of "Lose The Back Pain "

There are a lot of back pain remedies and programs out there so here is a view on my personal use of this one. Here I cover what I thought of it in my situation, the tips to using it, what it covers and includes, what is good and not so good about it, about muscle imbalances and why they are relevant, red flags of back pain and other useful back pain information. 

This is not just another academic review of a back pain system. I have lived with back and sciatic pain and I have used "Lose The Back Pain System". I have talked personally with Steve Hefferon and Jesse Cannone of The Healthy Back Institute and asked them many questions. 

You have maybe tried lots of back pain and sciatica treatments, have some given temporary relief or have you had no relief from pain? Are you Looking for a non-invasive, non-surgical approach? 


Do You Have Any Of These Back Pain Conditions/Symptoms?

• Sciatica
• Low back pain
• Upper Back Pain
• Hip pain
• pulled back muscle
• herniated disc
• SI joint syndrome
• spondylilothesis
• spinal stenosis
• SI joint syndrome
• IT band syndrome
• Generalised back pain without a specific diagnosis.

Lose The Back Pain System helped me to resume my life...


That sounds dramatic and it was..... I was at the point with such severe back and bilateral sciatic pain in both legs, where I was spending most of my time at home, unable to walk much, drive, work,  do anything I needed to do let alone what I wanted to do and I was becoming depressed.....

I had been suffering from persistent low back pain and burning sciatica in both legs hip to toes for over a year; trekking around so many professionals and having so many tests and treatments which only gave temporary relief, if any. Lose the back pain system is the main thing that gave me relief. It took work though and wasn't a "quick fix" but it helped me.

My Back Pain Story...

I never knew muscle imbalances could be important in back pain and sciatica....

In my case, I had very strong quadriceps(front of the upper leg) and very weak hamstrings(back of the upper leg). These imbalances together with others gave me an anterior or forward tipping pelvis which showed excessive lordosis of the lumbar spine, which caused a lot of stress on the discs until they herniated and put pressure on the nerve which gave me pain.

The root cause of my pain was not the herniated disc. The root cause of my pain was the muscle imbalances which resulted in the herniated disc which resulted in pressure on the sciatic nerve which gave me pain.

The doctor had told me to stand up straight. I was asked if I had been a gymnast as my spine was so curved! The physio had told me I had to reduce the curve in my spine and that there was something wrong with my hip position; the osteo had told me that I had slippage of the vertebrae.

I knew from seeing X RAys and MRI that I had a very curved spine and that several discs were herniated, and I knew I had  desiccated degenerative discs...but no one had told me about muscle imbalances which turned out to be key in my case...

Can you see why I am so thankful to Lose The Back Pain?
I had tried everything except the more invasive methods but I could not cope much longer especially with the burning and tingling type pain in my legs, my inability to walk far, sit, drive, etc and the very poor quality of life I was leading and was heading for invasive back surgery.

I had tried many treatments that either did not work at all for me or only worked temporarily and I wasn't making any significant improvement.

My physiotherapy was stopped and I was referred to a neurosurgeon for consideration for back surgery. I had a three-month wait to see him and in the meantime, I decided to try something a bit different...

For me once I addressed my imbalances, my posture improved, my spine curvature became more normal, as I get it the pressure came off the nerve and I was so relieved!!

It Took Time To Get Better...

It took a little while with me, it was not overnight. I think sometimes we hope for results in days with back pain remedies. However, although I was making improvements it was several months rather than days, but it did help me get better! Do I still need to take care of my back, of course, I do but I do not get pain anymore.

What Is "Lose the Back Pain"?

Lose the Back Pain System by The Healthy Back Institute, comprises guided Self Assessments you do in your own time to identify your muscle imbalances. It is a system of self-assessment followed by specific and targeted stretching and strengthening exercises to help back pain and sciatica symptoms.

It is a system you do yourself with support. You get DVD's, CD's and a handbook then do the assessments and exercises in the comfort of your own home. It is available as a manual or online system. 

Steve Hefferon and Jesse Cannone developed the system. In brief, their backgrounds are Steve is a massage therapist and Jesse a fitness trainer. They have both had significant experience in working with people with back pain. They developed this system along with doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists and other healthcare professionals...

Lose The Back Pain includes information:-

• Pain reduction strategies
• Back pain relief strategies
• Empower you to take control
• Specific corrective exercises and action for the health of your back.

You learn how to eliminate any back pain or sciatic pain you have now, how to prevent future flare-ups, how to eliminate any other ache or pain caused by muscle imbalances...

In addition, if you ever work with a doctor, chiropractor or physical therapist you will get far better treatment and you will know the right questions to ask because you'll know more and be more empowered...


Many people have found relief from their back and sciatic pain through this system when other treatments failed...Why not you?

What Do You Get In Lose the Back Pain System?

The "Lose the Back Pain System" addresses both the cause and the symptoms of back pain, the cause often being muscle imbalances. 

• Information about muscle imbalances and assessments.

• The self assessments are a key aspect to the program because you identify what muscle imbalances you have and then can see which corrective exercises you will need to follow.

• All of the stretches and exercises in the system are demonstrated.

• Pain reduction strategies. 

• Specific conditions ie sciatica, herniated disc etc.

• You also receive:

• A Reference Manual, including photos and instructions, and pain reduction strategies.

• A Personal Workbook for you to create your custom plan.

• Personal Support

Lose The Back Pain -What Do You Learn?

• How to Assess your imbalances.

• Why Muscle imbalances are so important if you have a bad back

• Which muscles need to be stretched and which muscles need to be strengthened.

• You get a step by step guide on which exercises to do and how.

• Then do specific and targeted exercise to address those imbalances.

With Lose the back pain you do a self-assessment and find out which of the "physical dysfunctions" as they call them you have. These physical dysfunctions are oftentimes a result of muscle imbalances. You then follow the exercises for that particular dysfunction.

Different exercises for different dysfunctions...to address the muscle imbalances you have, to relieve the pain....makes sense?

You also send in your self-assessment information to the support service and they may give you additional advice depending on your circumstances.

5 Simple Steps To Back Pain Relief

Five step process to help eliminate your back and sciatic pain. Written by Steve Hefferon and Jesse Cannone of the Healthy Back Institute

Eliminate Back Pain Quickly Without Harmful Medications or Dangerous Surgery

5 simple steps for ridding yourself of back pain
Millions of people suffer from back pain unnecessarily when there is actually a very simple solution, according to Jesse Cannone, certified personal trainer and back pain specialist.

Here's the simple system that MUST be followed if you are looking for real, long-term, lasting relief:

1. Identify the cause - nearly all of the treatments people receive for back pain only focus on the symptoms and the healthcare professionals zoom in on only the problem area. The real key in eliminating back pain is to find out exactly what's causing the problem... and most of the time it's not even the back!

2. Address both the cause and the symptom - the best approach is a combination of treating the symptoms for pain relief while also addressing the underlying cause.

3. Be aware - many people suffering from back pain are not in tune with their bodies and during their treatment they do not realize what is working and what is not. In order to achieve long-term relief you have to understand how your body works, what's causing the problem, and what changes have to be made to correct it.

4. Consistent Focused Action - achieving success in anything requires consistency and focused action. Most people with back pain won't make the time to work on their problem each day... instead they take pain killers which mask the pain and allow them to cause more damage while they continue with their life.

5. Don't do what doesn't work - we already know that most traditional treatments for back pain don't work.... The real key to eliminating back pain is to identify the true cause of the pain and then address it with a combination of treatments to treat both the cause and symptoms. Over 80% of all back pain is caused by muscle imbalances... NOT a lack of medicine or surgery!

Find out what's going on in your body and take action.

What Is A Muscle Imbalance?

If you have heard about muscle imbalances great! If not do not worry , you are not alone. A brief extract of an explanation from the guys who created Lose the Back pain.

"The reason you have back pain is because your body and spine have been pulled out of their normal position and into what we call dysfunctions...
If you are like most people, you move around and live your life without ever being aware that you are forcing your body to work with these dysfunctions, and sooner or later your body breaks down...
As you can imagine, it doesn't take long before this results in pain. It's very important to understand though, that these dysfunctions don't just appear out of nowhere - we create them!"

For a more detailed explanation please read the link below...

• Do Muscle Imbalances Cause Back Pain?
  This page discusses muscle Imbalance and the role in sciatic and back pain along with muscle balance therapy to balance your body and reduce risk of serious injury. Is it possible that some forms of back pain can be caused or contributed to by other.

Back Issues can "develop over time and are the direct result of imbalances between various muscle groups, what we call "muscle imbalances".

(Steve Hefferon/Jesse Cannone of The Healthy Back Institute)

Ten Good Things About Lose The Back Pain System.

Explaining Your Back Pain - Communicating back pain and sciatica symptoms

Many Back Pain conditions and the resulting pain are hidden and describing the pain can be difficult and frustrating.
This information covers how to communicate your pain more effectively to professionals or even family and friends.

• How To Explain Your Back And Sciatic Pain
  One of the issues with back pain and sciatica is that it can often be a hidden condition, you might look fine but you are in pain. No one can see it and it can be difficult to understand as the way we feel pain and interpret it can be different.

“No-one Cares About Your Back Like You Do"

Five Top Tips To Effective Use Of Lose The Back Pain System. 

1.Everyone is different but this is just an idea of how you might approach all the information you will receive when you get your copy. It's just suggestions, see your healthcare provider for advice or if you are a Lose The Back Pain customer create a support ticket for personal support.

2.When you first receive the lose the back pain system I would advise you to watch the 2 DVDs first through before you do the assessments. Then familiarise yourself with the rest of the material.

3.Then do the assessments, take your time over these and go back and do them again if you are not sure. You can do these alone but it may be helpful if you have someone with you.

4.If you are clear which "dysfunctions " you have you can go ahead and start the exercises. If you are not sure ask for feedback from the Healthy Back Institute.

5.Your body is in pain and you are likely not used to the exercises so do take it slow and steady.

Five Tips For Doing "Lose The Back Pain " Exercises. Suggestions from my personal experience.

1. Your body is in pain and you will likely not be used to doing these exercises. Take it slow and steady at first.

2. You do need to give it a little time. Don't just use it for a week and then give up. I used it for three weeks before I started to see a difference. I am very glad I did not give up after a week!

3. You may find it helpful to do the exercises after a warm bath or shower.

4. Do the exercises after your body has warmed up a bit, so not first thing in the morning, get moving around a bit first.
Start gently and go only to your tolerance. This is not a no pain no gain thing. Only go as far as is comfortable for you.

5. People like to do the lose the back pain exercises in different ways to suit them. Some people do the whole set of exercises for their condition every morning and evening, others like to do the exercises more often but only one or two each time. Experiment and see what works best for you.
If you experience any problems with the lose the back pain program of exercises, or you are not sure about how to do them, you can ask for advice.

However, as Steve told me -"It will not work if you do not do it"


As with anything you should consult with your healthcare professional to make sure it is OK for you to start on a program of exercise.

How To Sleep Better With Back or Neck Pain

Back And Neck Pain? Gain Better Sleep With A Body Support Pillow

Back pain can be a leading cause of sleep discomfort.  Maybe you are coping with sciatica, back pain, head or neck pain. This post is about sleeping with these types of issues more comfortably and the full body support pillows that can help you get more comfortable. These are lovely to give support or sink into for sleep comfort. 

For many people sleeping comfortably with a bad back or sciatic pain is a nightmare.

People have problems sleeping for many reasons including head and neck pain and a bad back. Sometimes it is muscular in the back muscles, sometimes spinal issues structurally or sciatic nerve issues. 

It is also vital that your head and neck is properly supported while sleeping as well as your back and hips. This is to ensure that your spine is in full and proper alignment all the way from your neck to your hips. The full body sleep pillows like this Comfort U Total Body Support Pillow (Full Size) do this for you without you having to think about it. 

Always check with a qualified medical practitioner if you are experiencing head, neck, back or sciatic pain.

Full Sized Body Pillow

There is a full sized version Comfort U Total Body Support Pillow (Full Size) and is very lovely and supportive. It does take up room in the bed but is so worth it if you get a good nights sleep with your back properly supported.

There is also a petite version if you think you may prefer that one.

How Do You Sleep? My experience with how to sleep with sciatic and back pain and full body pillows

When I had severe back and sciatic pain I struggled with how to sleep. I have coped with back and sciatic pain and know first hand how useful these sleeping pillows and full body pillows can be.

I used to use pillow supports either between the knees or under my lower back and I have to say pillows do a good job to an extent or for an occasional remedy, but not in my experience longer term.

However having used both normal pillows and a body pillow I find body pillows are much better than messing around with normal pillows which seem to fall out of the bed and just not give the total support you need. I have found body pillows excellent for me.

Better Sleep With Leachco Snoogle Total Body Pillow - Firm support cosy pillow

 These Leachco Snoogle Total Body Pillow, White body pillows are good for pregnancy but not only for that, they are excellent for all of us who have back and sciatic pain. 

You can sleep with this body pillow tucked in between your legs which I find a good position to support my spine.

Trying to do the same with pillows never quite worked for me as I am a bit restless sleeper and pillows kept slipping and then of course I woke up !

With a body pillow like this there is much less risk of slippage. It does take a little time to get used to but is well worth trying.

You can also read more reviews at Amazon from people who have used these back pain pillow supports too. I hope this helps you on your way to sleeping better with back pain and sciatica. That way you will not be straining your neck or back while trying to sleep.
