What the Back Pain Relief Association Does

The Back Pain Relief Association delivers free and subsidised products, information and support services to approximately those diagnosed with back, neck and joint pain.

People who are registered with the Back Pain Relief Association can access a range of products to assist in the management of back, neck and joint pain including books, CD's, Affirmation Superchargers, Water Distillers, and other health products.

The Back Pain Relief Association members are also entitled to a range of free information and support services.

The Back Pain Relief Association devotes a significant amount of its time to raising awareness of back, neck and joint pain, as it is important for back, neck and joint pain to be understood by the whole community, not just those affected by back, neck and joint pain. Knowledge will empower and help people to:

• successfully manage the back, neck and joint pain they, a family member or friend may have
• prevent the onset of back, neck and joint pain in the future
• improve understanding and reduce discrimination

The National Back, Neck and Joint Pain Program (BNJP) is the Back Pain Relief Association's national back, neck and joint pain awareness and prevention initiative. It supports and links back, neck and joint promotion initiatives undertaken by the Back Pain Relief Association's state and territory associations.

The main goals of the program are to increase:

• community awareness of back, neck and joint pain as a serious medical condition
• community awareness of perceived susceptibility to back, neck and joint pain
• community understanding that back, neck and joint pain can be prevented
• community access to quality information, support and services that have a back, neck and joint pain prevention focus.

Latest Campaign

For National Back, Neck and Joint Pain Week 2010, the Back Pain Relief Association will launch a new national campaign to highlight the important risk factor of poor breathing; if your breathing is poor you have a far higher chance of developing back, neck and joint pain.

This campaign will be promoted in the media aligned with National Back, Neck and Joint Pain Week.
