Somehow, I managed to forget to link to my most recent Martha Stewart Whole Living Daily post. Check out this post on ways to avoid springtime injuries as we all start to get out and exercise after hibernating all winter.

The Back Together iPad app…

Thanks to everyone for your kind wishes and feedback about the new Back Together iPad app. Jesse Friedman (the youngest app developer in the world mind you!) and I have worked hard to create a wonderful, easy to use app that will demonstrate simple, safe, and effective hands on tools and techniques for preventing and relieving back and neck pain. If you’ve got an iPad, I encourage you to check it out.

Coming this week…

Responses to viewer questions about fibromyalgia medications, and more on yoga and back pain. I hope you’ll check back.

Thanks for stopping by.

I am so excited- there is so much going on at Back Together Central as we prepare to launch my first iPad app, and I am putting the finishing touches on my second book. In preparation for the launch of the ipad app, I am pleased to announce the launch of the Back Together Forum- an on line forum for people to discuss their experiences dealing with back & neck pain.

In the forum, you will find sections to discuss alternative medicine, an ask the doctor forum, and much much more. The lower part of the forum is dedicated to the hands-on techniques of back together. Whether you are reading from the Back Together books, or using the iPad app, you can use these forums to share your experiences using the techniques with other users. What worked? Which combinations gave you the best results?

Click here to sign up and check out the Back Together Forum!

Look for a post Valentine’s Day article from my wife and guest blogger, Donna Kirschner, PhD. Tomorrow.

Thanks so much for stopping by,

Andy

This season, when many people are facing economic hardships, I thought it would be a good time to revisit the topic. HERE is a link to my most recent post on Martha Stewart’s Whole Living Daily blog.

Have you had to find ways to more affordably manage your medications? Please share your experiences here on the blog.

Best,

Andy

My time in London

I will be returning from London in a few days, with some great video posts and photos. I will also be posting some responses to some of the wonderful viewer questions I have received over the past few days.

Working hard on my new book, and would like your help…

I have been working hard to finish my new book, Back Pain: The One Thing. It is turning into a really great read, but I would like your help. Those of you who check my blog out regularly may be familiar with my segments The One Thing, where I ask different experts and practitioners what their one best piece of advice for preventing or relieving back pain would be. I want to know your one thing- as you’ve discovered ways to help your discomfort, what is your One Thing? Share them with me, and they could end up in my new book.

Thanks for stopping by,

Andy

The amount of really usable content you will get for such a low price is really stunning. I know my readers with iPads will enjoy it.

One of the great side benefits of all of the work we’ve done to get this up and running are the back together user forums, which will go live on the Back Together website (backtogether.org) on the day the app launches. These forums will be available free to all registered users, and will have some wonderful features:

-Areas to discuss any of the techniques in the Back Together DVD, Book, app, or website, giving you the opportunity to discuss your experiences with other users, sharing tips and suggestions.

-An ‘ask the doctor’ forum, where you can submit questions to one of the several experts contributing to the forum.

-An alternative medicine forum, where users can share experiences with alternative approaches to back & neck pain.

-And much more!

We’ve worked hard to create what we know will grow into one of the most comprehensive back & neck pain resources on the Internet.

Stay tuned for more info. Check in tomorrow for a response to a video viewer question.

Be well!
