Core Training
for (People with) Back Pain
A summer workshop series to bridge the gap between rehabilitation and real-life.
Core strength helps people be more stable and less susceptible to injury. This class is designed to help you protect your spine by understanding your personal pain triggers and learning how to avoid them. It is a systematic approach to strengthening your core that helps people improve their rehabilitation outcomes and back pain management.
I’m Katie Chesher, Acacia’s resident Kinesiologist.
Join me for 4 x 90 minute in-person workshops at Acacia Health.
