This is a group therapy of education, flexibility, strength, coordination and endurance training to prevent repetitive micro-trauma to the spinal structures responsible for pain and degeneration.

It is the endeavour of many people which gave birth to the present form of back school concept and design which has not only refined many lives but added one important dimension in the management of low back pain.
