The Back Stability course is organized into five parts that follow a logical progression from initial concepts to practical applications. The program introduces the problems of back pain and instability and provides an explanation of spinal anatomy, movements, and the physics of lifting. A discussion follows of the basic skills required for developing stability. Assessments of posture and muscle balance are highlighted, and foundational movements for development of core stability are introduced.
After covering the basics, the course moves into more practical applications by presenting progressive exercises and basic equipment used for developing greater stability. Information on abdominal training, resistance apparatus, speed and power, and practical functional progressions will help your clients increase back stability and enhance performance. Finally, real-life patient examples illustrate how to structure a full back stability program.
The course presents an alternative method for the treatment of back pain and provides each client the opportunity to actively participate in recovery and maintenance. By integrating the science behind back pain into a useable format for understanding and application, Back Stability offers proven methods of care and assists your work with clients to alleviate their pain, increase their back stability, and help them return to a fully functional lifestyle.
