"Back Mechanic" was by far my favorite, but he has a lot of own articles and also certified specialists in his area of expertise, with specific techniques and advice. The "secret" was to know your body to the point of being able to anticipate harm before too late. Took me years to learn this part, as no book can teach how your own body works.

Cheers. Ordered. I do a bit of backpacking (photo gear can be heavy) and i have back issues. I alwyas backed it like deuter suggests. does the book mention why the center of gravity needs to be different for sciatica folks? do you stand/walk more than you sit during work hours now?
