If you are suffering from back pain or you have in the past and wish to prevent it from happening again this course is for you. If you have avoided exercise because you believe it to be too hard or painful this program is a more gentle approach. Some of the techniques even fitness professionals have used in the past have contributed to the problem as opposed to help solve it. More recent research is applied in this course. Each back pain problem is unique and every individual is unique. This program will guide you through how to choose the options best for your back pain and identify when to leave one out if it doesn't fit your needs.
The goal of this course is to reduce the incidence of lower back pain and or reduce the intensity of pain, or both. Though this course is intended for people with acute or chronic lower back problems it may also help athletes and weekend warriors improve performance by building a better foundation for core strength.
