  • safe exercises for bad backs,
  • right to work,

  • concerns about whether to have spinal surgery and
  • information on particular conditions.
There are 35 free Helpline factsheets on a similar range of topics that support the information given by the volunteer as well as more in depth material that can be sent at cost.
