In 80% of cases, back pain is a chronic condition affecting millions of people including Miranda Esmonde-White. For those who do not have a medical illness causing the back pain, the problem is mechanical. The #1 doctor recommended treatment for back pain in exercise.

Classical Stretch - The Esmonde Technique focuses on re-balancing the muscles in the entire upper and lower back region with a comprehensive series of gentle stretch and strengthening exercises. Back pain is generally the result of normal wear and tear on our body, which becomes unbalanced. It is often impossible to pin point the exact cause of the back pain attack. We like to say that it was from carrying a heavy load or a fall, but most likely it is just ordinary wear and tear. As we age the vertebrae in the spine go through a shrinking phase which is often the cause of the imbalance.

It takes years for the spine to finish its resettling process, and in the meantime we are suffering from the imbalance it causes in our bodies. The muscles supporting the spine try to re-balance the lopsided spine resulting in a back pain attack. To prevent these attacks we have to work extra hard at keeping all the back muscles strong and supple. The Full Body Workout incorporates these exercises into the entire fitness program keeping the body balanced and preventing another back pain spasm from occurring.
