Step 1 - Determine Your Back's Directional Preference

Directional Preference is a fundamental concept for exercising successfully without pain. It is the posture where your back is the most comfortable.

When you register for Healthy Back Program, your first class teaches how to position yourself during exercises according to your individual Directional Preference.

How do you know your own Directional Preference? You can ask your spine therapist OR complete our self-assessment questionnaire before taking that first class.

Step 2: Choose Your Level of Challenge

When you register you will receive all FIVE levels of the Healthy Back Program and you will choose your level of challenge.  

Begin with the easiest (Level 1) classes if you know your back is sensitive or are new to exercise. 

If you feel ready for more of a challenge, try the first class in Level 2 or 3 and take the quiz at the end to determine if you should scale up or down. Always only complete what feels right for you.

Once you find your Level of Challenge we recommend you complete most of the classes in the Level before scaling up.  This will help you to successfully progress to the next level as you improve.

Step 2.5: Take Advantage of Extra Resources

In addition to the main classes, the Healthy Back Program has a series of videos to help you exercise safely and effectively.

Learn how to activate the right muscle during exercise classes, how to troubleshoot issues with pain, or get answers to common questions about technique.
