by Rob Jones

Over 85% of North Americans will suffer from some form of lower back pain in their lifetime. At a cost of tens of billions of dollars to their respective health care systems this is a chronic problem not just for an individual’s health but for the collective as personal suffering and time lost from work are major results of this scenario. The saddest thing about this situation is many or the most commonly performed exercises and daily movements are actually the cause of many of these lower back issues. Is your exercise routine breaking some of the cardinal rules of back safety? Do your most common movements with every day life actually contribute to your lower back pain? Have you paid a personal trainer to help you with your fitness but you ended up having to see a health care professional because of back pain related to your exercises? Protect Your Back 101 was created by Dr. Rob Jones, a chiropractor with over 18 years of clinical experience in helping his patients rid themselves of low back problems, permanently! With a clinical and scientific approach Protect Your Back 101 explains and demonstrates how the spine functions when it is healthy and moving properly, exactly which movements and exercises will break it down and lead to injury, which movements cause which symptoms, how to recognize the type of back pain and injury you have and how to correct your pain and function with the PROPER types of exercises and daily movements.
