Main Description:
Understand the essentials of Back Health Care. This course is an ideal professional development for anyone who is supporting somebody with back health problems or for someone who has back problems.
This course explains the anatomy of the back as well as many holistic approaches to back care and helping manage back issues and back pain.
Back pain can result from mechanical issues or from poor posture and can occasionally be a symptom of something completely different. As we start to consider all aspects of back pain, it is important to remember that the person with the back pain probably already knows some of the causes of their pain, but they may not be aware of how specific activities could be contributing to continuing pain while other activities, exercises, treatment forms or medications could combine to alleviate the pain and treat the underlying causes.
