EFFECTIVE EXERCISE FOR THE PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT OF LOW BACK PAIN
More than 80% of the adult population suffer from low back pain at some time in their life. It is one of the most common reasons why people take time off work, and may be distressing and frustrating as quality of life often suffers.
Non specific low back pain is tension, soreness and/or stiffness in the lower back region, back pain for which your medical practitioner has not been able to identify a specific cause for the pain. Gentle, effective exercise, delivered by a properly trained exercise professional can often help with the prevention and management of low back pain.
As an experienced, certified pilates teacher, I have additionally undertaken extensive training exclusively related to exercise referral and low back pain to become a Back4Good® Practitioner and a Level 4 Advance Exercise Instructor. BackCare, the national charity for healthier backs, has endorsed the training programme for Back4Good® Practitioners, who are also registered BackCare Professionals.
THE BACK4GOOD® PROGRAMME:
If you have been recommended to take up exercise to help manage your low back pain by your GP, physiotherapist, or other medical practitioner, please contact me to discuss your specific needs.
The exercises taught have been specially designed to help you control your movements and improve your posture, increasing both the strength and flexibility of your back.
A “Healthy Backs” client enrolment form must be completed prior to your first session and this can be downloaded from this page. If you are unable to print please contact me to request a form by post.
