Back Pain

Comprehensive Back Pain Relief

Back pain is something many people will face at some point in their lives, but only a few take the necessary steps to seek solutions. The book Back Exercise: Stabilize, Mobilize, and Reduce Pain delves into the anatomy and mechanics of the spine, providing exercises that will empower you to help your clients improve movement and alleviate pain.

Back Exercise not only covers exercises and rehabilitation techniques but also gives you a deeper understanding of the reasons behind spinal issues and pain. Throughout the book, clay models vividly illustrate the layers of spinal anatomy—from vertebrae and discs to muscles and tissues. These detailed, full-color images make it easy to visualize the spine’s structure, helping to identify potential sources of pain.

The book walks you through a back health evaluation, including a self-assessment tool to use with clients. With just a floor, wall, and camera, you can assess pain responses and identify postural imbalances through simple exercises.

After the assessment, you’ll find 60 exercises with instructions and safety tips aimed at stabilizing, strengthening, and rehabilitating the spine. These exercises are designed to improve stability, increase range of motion, and alleviate pain, building a stronger, more flexible back.

Detailed Exercises and Tailored Plans for Spinal Health

Additionally, the book covers five common spinal conditions: nonspecific low back pain, disc bulges and herniations, spondylolisthesis, stenosis, and spinal surgeries like fusions. For each condition, six months of targeted exercise plans are provided, offering a structured progression to enhance mobility, stability, and pain reduction.

Once completed, certified professionals can take the associated continuing education (CE) exam to earn credits.
