Maintaing body balance flexibility and stability

The most common problems we take to our doctors relate to aches and pains
and restrictions of the musculoskeletal system, the ‘machinery’ of the body.
There is a great deal that individuals can do for themselves to prevent such
problems, as well as to help in treatment and rehabilitation once problems have
occurred.
The book is not intended to be a substitute for professional attention and
treatment, but should be used to support the treatment and guidance of the
treating practitioner. It offers ways of preventing new or recurrent musculoskeletal problems as well as outlining first-aid options for the self-management
of aches, pains and restrictions until professional advice and treatment can be
obtained. The book also contains numerous options for self-application of
toning, stretching and mobilizing exercises which may be used as part of a
planned recovery and rehabilitation program under the guidance of a medical
doctor, chiropractor, physiotherapist, osteopath, massage therapist, athletic
trainer or other healthcare provider
