It is often said that what you do not know will not hurt you; however, our entire philosophy at The Back University© is in complete contrast to this age old myth!
We believe knowledge is essential to putting the power and control over your health back into your hands, where it should be. Having said that, we highly recommend you start your process of permanent back pain relief by taking the confidential Back Pain Assessment . Upon completion, you will receive a customized report sent directly to your e-mail inbox that will provide you with some initial first steps in learning about your specific back pain and how to overcome it.
After you have taken the assessment, or if you have already completed it, and determined based on your score you need to increase your back health knowledge and begin a program of recover, we recommend you consider one of programs or classes.

Research shows that the most effective way to treat back pain is through a comprehensive, preventative approach. The best approach in treating back pain is one that combines education on the anatomy of the back, information as to what causes back injuries, instruction in proper movement patterns/postures, and stretches and exercises to help prevent back pain in the future. Below is an overview outline of the steps throughout our program:
