When building a house, if you tried to put up your walls before you had a solid foundation, your walls would be weak and eventually collapse. If you tried to put on your roof before the walls were ready, you would run into the same problem. The same is true for your body. Your body has to go through a particular plan of care in order to repair itself correctly and fully.

In fact, 60 to 70 percent of people living in industrialized countries have experienced low back pain, according to World Health Organization estimates.
