Is your back giving you some problems?
Statistics say that 85% of the population will experience back problems once or more in their life.
Back problems occur for various reasons which can include too much sitting, standing, driving, carrying loads, stress as well as other factors. Pain relievers and anti-inflammatory medication can give some relief but it is usually temporary.
Heating packs and the use of ice can help but can be inconvenient unless you can relax at home in a comfortable chair. Flexing the area out can help but that usually starts to hurt after a while because of repetitive stretches.

So What can we do for the back?
First we determine the underlying cause as to why the back feels sore or tight. Is an old condition or injury coming back to irritate us again? Are we straining it with too much activity? Has something changed in our back structure due to aging or lack of activity? .... answering these questions and then learning how to stretch and strengthen the back is the best answer!

Maybe Back School (Dynamic Back School ) can help!
Back School is a structured workshop designed for people with Chronic Low Back pain (pain and discomfort that has lasted longer than 3 months.) The exercises are gentle, easy to perform and well supervised. The stretches and stability exercises are presented in a series which tenderly flex and relax the back muscles so they can settle down and feel normal again. Sports and daily active living can take their toll on your back so Back School can also be for the person who wants to ensure good back health to avoid future back problems.

How will I feel after attending the workshop?
Generally everyone feels good because it is a stretching and strengthening program specific for the back. Most of all you should feel empowered because learning to take care of your back leads to better control of what to do with the discomfort in your back. Exercise should treat the whole body! Back School is about enabling better daily function, comfort and all-over well being.
