Back For The Future: Core Conditioning (M) According to Statistics Canada, four out of five adults between the ages of 30-50 will experience at least one episode of back pain affecting their ability to work and participate in physical activity. To optimize spinal health and maintain our Back for the Future, we need to strengthen all of the core muscles in a balanced manner.

Did you know your pelvic floor and diaphragm are part of your core? • Learn how to identify common postural dysfunction and how to apply corrective exercises. • Take home a repertoire of safe and effective core conditioning exercises to start using immediately.
