When your back flares up, what you do first matters

A free guide from Teresa Dixon — five things worth knowing before the next one.

If you have had a flare-up before, you know the feeling. Something shifts, and the whole day rearranges itself around your back.

Most people reach for the same handful of responses in the first 48 hours. Some of them help. Some of them quietly make the following fortnight longer than it needed to be.

This guide covers five of them.

What is Inside

  • What tends to help in the first 48 hours, and what tends not to
  • Why resting past a certain point stops being useful
  • What the pain is telling you, and what it is not
  • How to keep moving when moving is the last thing you feel like doing
  • When a flare-up is worth getting looked at properly

Who is it for

  • It is for you if your back has flared before and you would rather not be caught out again.
  • It is not a treatment plan, and it does not replace your GP, physiotherapist or osteopath. It sits alongside that care.

THE FORM

Where shall I send it?

[Just your first name and your email. The guide arrives straight away.]

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER

Over the following few weeks I will send you a short series of emails that build on the guide. Practical, unhurried, no pressure. If they are not useful to you, one click unsubscribes you and I will not take it personally.

No commitment. No pressure. Just an honest conversation about what might help.
