I spoke with a friend of mine last night who is from Sudan. She has worked as a health policy analyst for a huge relief organization and has recently finished a 3 year stint in 7 different African countries.
She told me that back pain is almost non-existent in Africa despite the hard physical labor - including very heavy lifting - people do on a daily basis. (note, we here in NA and Europe sit on our asses all day and get back-pain) She did say, however, that in some countries- such as Niger- there is a common belief that polygamy is an effective way to prevent back-pain. Go figure!
******* Sarno-ize it! Read chapter 4 of Dr. Sarno's "The Divided Mind." Also chapers 3, 4 and 5 in Dr. Scott Brady's "Pain Free For Life" are very important. |
