If you’re troubled by back pain, you’re not alone. This problem affects over 80% of all adults at some time in their lives. The suffering can range from a periodic twinge that makes it difficult to perform everyday tasks to excruciating pain that makes it impossible to get out of bed. The YMCA Healthy Back program addresses chronic back pain by teaching you safe stretches and exercises, reducing daily stressors like improper sitting, standing, sleeping, driving, and providing valuable resources to utilize at home.
