Course overview
Back injuries and back pain can be debilitating, keeping you in bed for days and out of work for even longer. Whether it's a sudden injury incurred by lifting something improperly or a slowly-developing injury caused by years of poor posture, a back injury can be ruthless. Our goal in this program is to help you prevent back injuries by being aware of your posture, thinking about how you're going to move before you move, staying fit, and visiting a doctor as soon as the slightest back pain occurs.
