Bent Over and Broken

For Skeptics, Sufferers, and Anyone Who's Ever Crawled to the Bathroom.

You're not lazy. You're not weak. And you're definitely not alone.

If you're reading this on the floor, wondering if your back will ever let you stand tall again, this book is for you.

Bent Over and Broken isn't another textbook full of anatomy terms or a "just stretch more" guide. It's a raw, real look at one man's journey through decades of back pain—and the simple method that finally gave him his life back.

Through the story of Tom, a pragmatic skeptic who tried everything from ER visits to Percocet to lying on the floor for 12 hours straight, you'll discover the power of the McKenzie Method—a proven, no-fluff approach to healing back pain by understanding how your spine really works.

Inside, you'll learn:

• What causes most back pain (hint: it's not one bad lift—it's years of bad posture)


• How to gently reverse the damage with 10-minute daily movements


• Why pain that moves is a good thing


• How to sit, sleep, and lift without hurting yourself again


• What to do when pain flares up—and how to stop fearing it

This isn't a miracle cure. It's a method. One that works when nothing else has—because it's based on simple logic, not hype.

Whether you're just starting to hurt or you've been in pain for years, this book will help you feel understood, hopeful, and most importantly—in control.

"Back pain can be stopped. Often quickly. And often permanently."

— Robin McKenzie
