Stretch and Strengthen for Low Back Pain
Got back pain? The most common causes of low back pain are muscle imbalances, some are short and tight, some are weak and under used. In this class, we will gently stretch the most common muscles that are short and tight in the pelvis and lower back. We will strengthen the under used muscle groups that tend to be weak or possibly misfiring. This will restore balance in the pelvis and your body. We will gently improve your core
strength to prevent further pain and dysfunc-tion, while improving your hip and low back mobility to improve pain-free movement. This class is led by a degreed and certified personal trainer. It’s appropriate for begin-ners and you will need a mat and a water bottle, shoes are optional. You must be able to get up and down from your mat one time per class.
