Master Back Health by Improving Strength, Flexibility, and Mobility, plus Building Awareness

Back pain is common for people of all ages. People are seeking effective ways to reduce pain so they can live the active lives they desire – we want to hike, bike, play golf, garden, and enjoy freedom well into our retirement.

People experience back pain for various reasons, either they have been too sedentary, their job or a sport has caused repetitive stress, they have an old injury, there is a congenital spinal condition, or they are dealing with arthritis or other conditions that develop as we age.

This program is somewhat different from a standard strength training or stretching program.  Some of the practices may surprise you.  It blends methods and techniques from various disciplines, including yoga and sport science, and emphasizes building awareness and moving in ways that are biomechanically-safe.  The course leads you through exercises and stretches where you will learn to move mindfully and incorporate breathing into your movements while still getting a workout.

This course includes practical techniques for dealing with pain when it arises.  It also includes education about core strength, the importance of the diaphragm, and breath work. 

The key to a healthy back and reducing pain is three-fold:

1)  Regular, biomechanically-safe movement in all planes of motion. This builds functional core strength.

2)  Learning to release tension.

3)  Practicing a unique kind of breath work which not only helps to achieve 1 & 2 above but it also improves the mind-body connection and strength of the diaphragm.

The benefit of doing it this way is that you learn how to recognize the things you are doing that make your pain worse. When we build awareness of imbalances, tension areas, and poor alignment then we are able to make corrections that can minimize problems.
