If you’ve ever struggled with back pain or stiffness, you know how it can impact every part of your life, from work to workouts to sleep. At PROHEALTH PHYSIO & FITNESS (EP), we’re excited to introduce a transformative approach to spinal health: Running-for-a-Better-Back.
What Is Running-for-a-Better-Back?
Running-for-a-Better-Back is a unique, evidence-based program designed to improve spinal mobility, core strength, and overall posture through guided running techniques. Developed by our expert Exercise Physiologists (EPs), this initiative blends physiotherapy principles with functional fitness to help clients move better, feel stronger, and live pain-free.
Why Running Helps Your Back
Contrary to popular belief, running when done correctly can be incredibly beneficial for your spine. Here’s how:
- Strengthens Core Muscles: Running activates deep stabilizers that support your lumbar spine.
- Improves Posture: Proper running form encourages upright alignment and reduces slouching.
- Enhances Mobility: Dynamic movement increases flexibility in the hips and thoracic spine.
- Boosts Circulation: Improved blood flow helps nourish spinal discs and reduce inflammation.
What to Expect in the Program
At PROHEALTH PHYSIO & FITNESS (EP), our Running-for-a-Better-Back sessions are tailored to your fitness level and spinal health goals. Each session includes:
- Postural Assessment by our EPs
