Back Pain Recovery

Statistics show that 80% of adults have reported back pain at some time during their lives and 10% of those become chronic sufferers. Most back pain is caused by poor postural alignment [see section on postural training], inadequate core strength, injury, disease and poor mechanical movement [typically using the wrong muscles needed to perform a task, which requires the low back to take the brunt of it].

In consultation with your health care providers, your rehabilitation exercise programme will establish a slow continuous improvement in function and pain reduction providing you with:

Essential education in how your spine best functions and awareness of motion about your spine.

Flexibility exercises for tight muscles that are affecting your back.

Stability exercises for the spine and then moving on to
mobility exercises about a stable spine.

Strengthening and endurance exercises for the back and abdominal muscles, which act as a support for the spine.

Reducing the load through the spine by excellent joint mechanics and movement patterning throughout your body.

Reducing your risk of low back pain in the workplace [or home].



TESTIMONIALS...

I have been training with Lisa for one and half years.
It has been inspirational and enjoyable. I have trouble with my lower back and Lisa was always sure to modify exercises and be mindful of not aggravating old injuries. I feel fit, strong and finally comfortable in my own body.

What made Lisa stand out from the rest was her absolute dedication to her job. Fitness training is a clearly a vocation for Lisa, for she is constantly going to conferences or training courses to get new knowledge and she is absolutely committed to every one of her numerous clients. Working with her has given me new insight and motivation. She provided me with motivation to stay in shape, and a program I have successfully continued with on my own, both comfortably and effectively. And, when the going gets rough, Lisa makes me laugh, which keeps me committed to working out -- who knew that a killer exercise routine could not only get the job done, but also be FUN!
