Dealing With Lower Back Pain

The lower back is the connection between the upper and lower body, and it bears most of the body’s weight.  Because of this, it is easily injured when you lift, reach, or twist.  Low back pain is often caused by overuse, strain, or injury.  Aging plays a part too.  Your bones and muscles tend to lose strength as you age, which increases your risk of injury.   This free seminar will offer suggestions from a Physical Therapist of exercises, how to sit properly, what shoes to buy, how to stand correctly, etc.
