Healthy Back Programme

Back problems can be unbearable and 90 per cent of the population suffer from spinal issues at some time in their lives, according to Rec Centre Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation Practitioner Justin Stewart.

We all know that we need to look after our spine, but what does that really mean? Justin will be addressing this at the Rec Centre Healthy Back Programme and providing information necessary to manage backs effectively.

The course comprises both practical and educational components covering topics such as the mechanics of the spine, how to activate your core, how to stretch and how to bend at the hip.  It is suitable for those wanting to arm themselves with preventative information as well as those already suffering back problems.

Justin is a specialist exercise therapist with a BA Sport Science degree and an Honours Degree in Sport Science with a specialisation in Bio kinetics from the University of KwaZulu-Nata.  He has been involved in the provision of Sport and Rehabilitation services since 1999.
