It can happen to you….
Back pain is one of the most common reasons that people seek medical attention. We are all at risk of having a back injury. I hear a lot of people tell me that they don’t have a bad back so they don’t need to work on it. That is a recipe for disaster. Go and sit in a chiropractic office and ask people why they are there. Back pain. What happened to them? For many people, it was caused by one thing (such as lifting improperly or reaching, pulling or bending). For others, it was caused by poor mechanics such as poor posture or sleeping in a bad position or having a work area that was not set up ergonomically. You won’t hear any of them saying their back is bad because they are getting older.
So, if you are one of the MANY people that tell me that they don’t need to strengthen their back, I would like you to do one thing for me. Look around your life and see all of the things that you do every day. If you injure your back, are you going to still function normally?
Will you be able to lift your kids? Will you be able to golf (forget it!!) Or will you even be able to work? Strengthening your back and your core is about prevention, not cure. That is why so many health professionals do Spinal Fitness. They know that it is not about cure and they see people every day who are in terrible pain.
There are many things you can do to take care of your back. They are all common sense things, like being careful how you lift. Adding the Spinal Fitness System a couple of times per week can dramatically help strengthen your back.
Still not convinced?? Then, consider this. Your core muscles act as a girdle running around the entire mid-section of your body. If your core is strong, it will not only promote better health, but it will pull everything in. This will give you a leaner appearance. So, in addition to being healthy, you will look great!
