The tl;dr he theorizes some manifestations of backpain are a psychophysiological phenomena and by unraveling psychological "tension" you can relieve the pain.

>STOP BACK PAIN FOREVER
>by which i mean certain types of psychosomatic stress can be relieved possibly and you’ll feel slightly better and this book is not a real substitute for actual therapy YMMV no refunds :^)

It's the absolute truth but will take some work on your part. How long depends on your nervous system condition. I'd recommend reading and doing what he suggests, and then expand on it by checking out more recent resources like Pain Free You on YouTube. Do whatever it takes to get to the root of your unconscious but don't dwell there. Understand and move on.

He doesn't really have much disclaimer in there. There's a very clear sense of conviction that he 100% believes this will work if all other options don't.
Additionally, in parts of the book he even refutes a lot of typical diagnoses given for back pain and instead suggests that the one he proposes here, TMS(Tension Mytosis Syndrome), is usually the real cause. One of his main arguments is that contemporary medicine is too narrowly focused on physical and chemical explanations for illness, and hasn't given sufficient consideration to the mind-body connection. I don't think this is really a crazy out there idea. It's like how someone with anxiety can have that manifest as high blood pressure or hyperventilating. You can address those symptoms with chemical medicine or temporary care, but if the underlying psychic phenomena causing that isn't dealt with then that person won't actually be healed. It's why like 1/3 of zoomers are on SSRIs.

Opiates were pretty much designed for pain management

you've got backpain?
me too
i think it's my mattress
thinking of doing yoga or some shit, i can't fucking take this I hate exercise but I hate back-pain more

But that's what my body is shaped for now. I've been doing it for 20 years, I'm literally shaped like a desk chair. I've evolved.

It is. All of it. It's scary to face your id let's be honest. But a multi billion dollar industry of medieval butchers, pill pushers, and PT scam artists depends on people not figuring this out.

This isn't /lit/ related but the real fix for almost all back pain is to just strengthen the parts of your back that are left weak with disuse. For a lot of people this ends up being the lower back, due to 1) spending 12 hours a day slouching in a chair, 2) retarded modern glassback gymbros claiming bending your back under load will make your spine explode, and 3) a lack of significant other exercise, such as running, with a beneficial effect on the back (no I'm serious, there's studies).
Good news is the solution is as easy as grabbing a 5lb weight and doing pic related to start off. Do a couple sets once a week, keep your knees locked out the entire movement, enjoy the unique stretch on the hamstrings and on the lumbar muscles on the way back up, add another 5lbs once it starts feeling easy. Do this consistently enough for a while and you'll become extremely resilient to back injury. Anecdotally, it's allowed me to get away with super sketchy beltless rounded back deadlifts with no issues whatsover, and it's allowed my 55-year-old dad to fix issues with his hamstrings that he thought he was starting to get too old and frail to fix.

How can I achieve this

Psychosomatic problems are not resolving easier than problems of purely physical nature. On the contrary - the psyche is a more rigid material than the spine is.
>>
>>24880577
I catched one after standing in the wind for too long. I thought I was an invalid for a year, couldn't walk, couldn't run, I would only stagger . The pain went away miraculously with the summer. Perhaps exercises helped. I still do the basic stuff( on back,knee bending etc) before climbing out of bed every morning.
Just don't do stupid shit with your back BC it can be a source of misery if you fuck it up.
>>
>>24880577
I prefer The Way Out by Gordon and Ziv

>>24881828
Yeah, deadlifts are way easier to do than to realize and internalize that at least some of the pain in my arms is bullshit and not being caused by something physically wrong with anything in them

>>24880577
Exercise and supplements (or diet) can fix it. You need to get enough magnesium and vitamin D. You should supplement both instead of relying on your diet that's most likely deficient in them.
Add in some light exercise and it will improve your backpain over time.

If you get insufficient amounts of magnesium then that's the most important part to fix. Magnesium is one of the big electrolytes that are used to control muscle contraction and relaxation along with sodium, potassium, and calcium. You typically get enough of the other 3, but magnesium can be lacking. That's why supplementing it can help so much. It's also very inexpensive to supplement. Magnesium drinking tablets are sold in like every supermarket for like $2 for 20.
>>
>>24882491
most supplements are entirely chemically produced and have no relationship to the benefits produced by fresh food.
>>
>>24881614
You don't even need the weights. Simply doing the exercise shown in your pictures a few times a week without weights would help a lot of people.
>>
>>24882495
What kind of a retarded ass take is this? Your body needs magnesium, the CHEMICAL ELEMENT. You just can't eat magnesium in its pure form because it's too reactive, so you eat it as something else like magnesium citrate, but the critical part there is the magnesium itself.

Magnesium is as important for the body to function correctly as sodium. Sodium's used for muscle contraction, while magnesium is used for muscle relaxation (and a million other things).

This isn't your "Jimothy the Great's Root Soup" supplement. It's the actual chemical element that you need.
>>
>>24882505
>the CHEMICAL ELEMENT
the issue is bioavailability. nutrients don’t operate in isolation. in food they appear with enzymes, organic cofactors and transport molecules your body evolved to recognise. cheap industrial isolates have a ~4% absorption rate. that means you’re paying for expensive chalk.
>>
>>24882532
Magnesium citrate has a bioavailability of over 80%. One study I looked at got a 96% of it after 2 hours.
It's a pretty inexpensive form of magnesium because all you need for it is to mix magnesium carbonate with some citric acid. That's exactly what the drinking tablets do when they fizz in water.

You're right about this with other vitamins and minerals, but not magnesium.
>>
>>24882629
think you’re confusing solubility with absorption. that’s the fraction that dissolves and becomes available for uptake, not what you retain, which is 25-30%. food Mg comes bound to amino acids and organic chelates that use entirely different, slower transport pathways. a fizzy industrial salt isn’t equivalent to the way the body handles minerals in food.
