A small group recovery class for people who’ve had back pain — and want to stay pain-free.
✅ Why exercise works for back pain — backed by science
🧠 Your brain can amplify pain.
After an episode of back pain, your nervous system becomes more sensitive. This can lead to fear of movement, stiffness, and more pain — even if the injury has healed.
🏃♂️ Movement retrains your body and brain.
Exercise helps calm the nervous system, improve circulation, and restore healthy movement patterns. It reduces pain sensitivity and builds confidence in your body again.
💪 Movement improves control and confidence — not just strength.
People with back pain often move differently — more stiffly, or with less control. Guided exercise helps retrain how your body moves, improves coordination, and builds confidence. While strength can help, it’s not about “fixing” weakness — it’s about helping you move well and without fear.
📈 The research is clear:
- Exercise reduces the chance of future back pain by up to 45%
- The best exercise is one you can stick with — supervised, progressive programs work best
- Education and movement together improve outcomes more than rest or scans
