Synopsis

You've tried everything. The pain keeps coming back.

Stretching, strengthening, massage, injections—maybe you've even had surgery. But your back pain persists. Or it goes away for a while, then returns the moment you least expect it.

Here's what no one has told you: Most chronic back pain isn't caused by weak muscles or a "bad back." It's caused by hidden movement patterns that keep pulling your body out of alignment—patterns so subtle you don't even know they're happening.

In Fixing You: Back Pain (2nd Edition), award-winning orthopedic physical therapist Rick Olderman reveals why traditional treatments fail—and shows you exactly how to identify and correct the real problem.

Find your pattern:

Pain worse when standing, walking, or arching back? Diagnosed with stenosis or spondylolisthesis? → Chapter 4: Extension Problems

One-sided low back pain or sciatica down one leg? SI joint dysfunction or piriformis syndrome? → Chapter 6: Side-Bending Problems

Herniated or bulging disc diagnosis but treatments aren't working? Pain when bending forward or slumping? → Chapter 5: Flexion Problems

What you'll discover:

• Simple self-tests that pinpoint YOUR exact pain pattern in minutes
• Why your pelvis and rib cage alignment matter more than your "core strength"
• How to retrain your body during everyday movements—sitting, walking, bending, sleeping
• The hidden postural habits keeping you trapped in the pain cycle

🎥 Bonus: Every exercise comes with video demonstrations. Enter the code inside at www.rickolderman.com and follow along with Rick step-by-step.

Why does everyone give you the same advice?

Stretch your hamstrings. Strengthen your core. Lose some weight. Try acupuncture. Maybe all good ideas—but they don't work for chronic pain because they treat isolated tissues, not movement patterns.

Your back pain isn't random. It follows a specific pattern created by how your whole body moves and compensates. Fix the pattern, and the pain resolves. Keep treating individual tissues, and you stay stuck in the cycle.

This approach works even if:

• You've been in pain for years
• Physical therapy didn't help
• You've been told surgery is your only option
• X-rays and MRIs show "abnormalities" but treatment isn't working
• You're skeptical because nothing else has worked

After 30 years of clinical practice, Rick has helped thousands break free from chronic pain. If you've been told "this is just how it is" or "you'll need to live with it," this book will show you there's another way.

Your back pain has a pattern. This book will help you break it.
