Healthy Back Programme – Prevent and Relieve Back Pain

Description

This programme has been designed by physiotherapists, osteopaths, yoga therapists and GP’s. Its simple, easy-to-do exercises stretch and strengthen the muscles along your spine, release tension and leave you feeling great!

Takes only 10 minutes a day…

With just a few minutes of practice each day, you can experience significant benefits, regardless of whether you have a history of chronic back pain or simply want to learn an easy-to-follow formula to maintain a strong and healthy back.

My back has felt a lot easier since getting into the exercises. In particular, I did a case in theatre on Thursday which I do every couple of weeks—it takes a good couple of hours and involves wearing a heavy lead apron and standing in a very awkward position. Usually my back is screaming by the end. But last week, I was pain-free at the end. Extraordinary. Thank you!
