Bragg Back Fitness Program - with Spine Motion For Pain-Free Back

The Spine Is Your Vital Key to Health. Let us briefly summarize the key role of the spine in almost every function of the human body. It is the pivot of the skeleton, the framework of bones giving the body its shape. Anchored to the spine are layers of large and small muscles and ligaments of the back and abdomen, essential in holding the body erect and the vital organs in place (even these organs themselves are supported by the spine). In four-legged (quadrupedal) creatures, vital organs are suspended downward from a curved spinal column. However, in the two-legged (bipedal) human, they must be held up against the pull of gravity by an erect spinal column. In the center of that column, descending directly from the base of the brain and protected by the bony vertebrae, is the spinal cord, the control center of extensive, intricate networks of motor and sensory nerves that radiate to all parts of the body.
For these basic anatomical and physiological reasons, (which we will discuss in detail during the course of this book,) we believe that many ailments can be traced to an abnormal spine. For example, prolonged habits of incorrect postureâ€”as well as accidents, sudden movement, jolt or strainâ€”can cause a vertebra to shift slightly out of alignment (subluxation) and to press against a nerve passing out from the spinal cord through an opening at that level. Such an impingement is an open invitation to trouble in the organ or body part that is serviced by that partially pinched nerve.
Researchers estimate that a whopping four out of five Americans will experience back pain at some point in their lives. In fact, back pain is second only to the common cold as a reason for visiting a doctor. Annually, nearly 31 million Americans experience back pain, at a skyrocketing cost of $20 billion for medical treatments and disability payments, some on permanent disability! Our modern machines are taking the place of manual labor, and have significantly deteriorated the physical body over the last 60 years. However, Spine Motion can help alleviate almost any back pain you may encounter and help keep it from decreasing your quality of life.

In order to alleviate back problems that arise from structural spine problems, my father Paul C. Bragg originated the Spine Motion Exercises given in this book. These exercises were introduced over 70 years ago. Public and press reception were so enthusiastic that claims made by those who used these exercises sounded extravagant. Only a small part of the amazing results reported would have to be true to establish the principle of Spine Motion as the valuable force that it is. As remarkable as the results attained by you and others following these Spine Motion Exercises may be, we do not want anyone to regard this as evidence that these exercises can supplant all other health measures. They cannot, nor are they intended to do so. You must follow a well-rounded healthy lifestyle program, including proper nutrition, adequate rest and other forms of exercise, all of which we will discuss in this book. Spine Motion Exercises are also not to be considered a cure for any condition, illness or disease. In fact, nature has no cures, in the generally accepted sense of the word.
