Healthy Back Exercises

In order to improve the condition of your body and muscles, it is important to regularly do exercises. The lack of exercises leads to the replacement of muscle cell volume with nonfunctional connective tissue, which causes various problems with the advancing age.

In this class, we do a series of exercises strengthening the back and core muscles, relieving back pain, and improving the posture. Moreover, the class will bring you an awareness for the correct posture and teach you methods to deal with office work requiring long sitting hours.

Please, note that these exercises are not meant as physiotherapy, but as a workout for the back muscles. It is important that you always check with your doctor what you should and should not do if you have an injury.
