Back Pain Treatment Like You Have Never Experienced Before!
Back pain can rapidly be diminished by reintroducing the child-like
learning process of movement. Your brain will discover the least painful
ways for you to move if you simply give it the information it needs.

Here is the story of Ann who unsuccessfully tried everything in order
to get relief for her lower back pain and finally found relief with
the Anat Baniel Method.
Ann had two back surgeries. In the first, hardware was placed in her
lower spine in order to fuse it. In the second surgery the same hardware
was taken out because the pain became much worse as a result of the first
surgery. A tall, beautiful woman, she was in her mid forties when she
first came to see Ms Baniel. Ann had so much pain in her back that every
time she moved she tightened her whole body and held her breath. She
was in bed for hours every day and when she was up, she stood and walked
on curled toes. Ann tried various therapies with little relief. She was
in this condition for almost seven years.
Ms. Baniel did not tell Ann the “right” way to stand, sit,
or move. Instead Ms Baniel moved Ann’s body very gently giving
Ann’s brain the opportunity to experience alternative ways of moving
- pain free. Quickly, Ann learned new movement patterns that decreased
her pain and increased her flexibility and strength. Soon Ann’s
confidence grew and she began to do the Transformational
Movement Lessons Programs at home.
As Ann got better and better, she had to change many of her beliefs and
ideas about her body and what is best for her. (See the article The
Language of Movement -- Tools and Solutions for more information.)
For example, she was told by one of her therapists to tighten her
belly and hold it in to “support
her spine” and protect her lower back. Once Ann discovered, through
these new techniques for back exercises, how to safely move her lower
back, she could stand with her feet flat on the floor, breathe freely
and feel more powerful in her body.
As Ann continued with her choice of a technique for back exercises
- the Transformational Movement Lesson programs, she had
less and less pain for longer periods of time. Today Ann drives, works,
takes care of her child, flies on airplanes, and is fully in life.
On most days she does not need to lie down anymore. When occasionally
Ann experiences pain again, it is never as acute as it used to be,
and she knows how to immediately get relief for her lower back pain – she
does one of the Transformational Movement Lessons Programs.

How Does the Anat Baniel Method Work for Back and
Lower Back Pain Relief?
This cutting edge approach is based in the understanding of how the
brain forms patterns of posture and movement – good and bad ones.
It looks at all aspects of the person: body, mind, emotion and spirit
and its relationship to pain. The Anat Baniel Method addresses an “invisible” element
that is of the utmost importance in our ability to recover from back
pain and prevent future pain: the QUALITY with which we move. (Read Reversing
Aging and Pain Through the Principals of Well Organized Movement for
more information.)
This Method is based on the breakthrough discovery that poorly organized
movement and limiting beliefs are the most common causes of pain. Since
it is the brain that organizes movement, these new techniques for back
exercises - the Transformational Movement Lessons - are designed to provide
your brain with the information and experiences it needs in order to
form new, pain free patterns and solutions. With this new information
from your body, mind, and emotions, your back pain will stop - often
in only a few sessions!
This natural pain relief solution can help you manage back pain and
chronic pain with fewer drugs or no drugs at all. You will discover ease
and freedom in your movement you haven’t felt since you were a
child. You will be able to do things you were never able to do before.
You will create a more positive relationship with your body. You will
become stronger and have more energy. And most importantly – you
will do all this free of back pain.

Natural Pain Relief - Transformational Movement Lessons
Back pain treatment through the Transformational
Movement Lessons is
very different from regular back exercises. (Click to
try our free sample streaming video 5 minute lessons).
Rather than engaging in repetitive
movements that are often done forcefully and even mindlessly, with
the Transformational Movement Lessons you will be asked to move gently
and slowly and pay attention to what you feel. You will be paying
attention to your whole body, not just the painful areas. You will quickly
become aware of what you are doing and will discover ways to move that
are easier and give you relief from back and lower back pain. You will
be amazed at how much better you will feel - fast.
In each movement lesson you will be guided by Anat through a sequence
of movements. You will be encouraged to move slowly and gently. In each
lesson you will learn new movement skills or improve on existing skills
that are necessary for you to have a healthy back – free of pain
and chronic pain. Each lesson is different from all others. This insures
that your brain continues to get a rich flow of new information that
it needs. The lessons are grouped into complete programs that you can
do safely in the comfort of your home. Each lesson is between 30-45 minutes
long and features techniques for back exercises that use a completely
new approach that can deliver amazing results.
You will learn to bend, arch, and twist your spine easily and fully.
You will become more flexible and stronger without forcing. You will
find it easier to bend down, lift your arms, carry heavy objects, and
look up and around yourself. You will stand taller. You will breathe
better and walking will become easier.
These gentle, safe, and mindful movement lessons not only can diminish
your existing back pain, but you will also learn how to prevent future
pain and chronic pain. Over time, by continuing to do these lessons,
you will be able to participate more successfully in fitness, exercise,
dance, or sport programs of your choice - pain free. Click to see

80% of all people experience back pain during their life.
80% of all people experience back pain during their life. We cannot
fully understand the devastation caused by back pain unless we have experienced
it ourselves. Back pain limits us and can bring our life to a complete
stop.
Most back pain is caused by poor posture and poor movement habits formed
by faulty learning, usually beginning in childhood. Scoliosis can also
cause pain. (Click to read: Movement
and Learning Based Approach to Working with Scoliosis )
When the
movement in our back is disorganized, some of the forces generated
by our muscles create friction that, over time, destroys body tissue
and leads to injury and pain. At times back pain is the result of
accidents or illness. Unfortunately when we try to protect ourselves
from the pain, we create new poor habits that cause us even more pain
and chronic pain. No matter the cause of the pain, the speed at which
pain can be resolved goes right back to movement habits learned in childhood
and adulthood, and to our ability to learn new patterns of movement,
of thinking, and of feeling.
