About The Program

This program is designed for people with back pain who want to safely strengthen their core to both feel and move better. 

It is also a great program for beginners or people who have been away from exercise for some time even if you do not have low back pain!

You can start the program at a level that is comfortable for you and move at your own pace. 

No equipment is required and you can do all of the exercises safely at home.

Having a stronger core can help ease and prevent back pain and this program is a fantastic way to get your started!
