IT’S THE SYSTEM

Look after the musculo-skeletal system, keep it in good alignment, keep it supported by strong muscles and the parts will look after themselves.

If muscles attached to the pelvis tighten up and take the pelvis out of alignment, it’s pretty much potluck in which part of the system you’ll feel the pain.

Allied with the Back in Alignment program is the Clinical Diagnostic Assessment – the aim of which is to find out which muscles are tight, which muscles are weak and let you know the exercises on which you need to concentrate in order to get your skeleton back into better alignment and free of joint and muscle pain

As Bill Clinton might have said, ‘It’s the system stupid.’

 

PERSONALLY-GENERATED

JOINT AND MUSCLE PAIN
 

There is an epidemic of personally-generated joint and muscle pain. 30% of people give themselves 5/10 or less when asked to rate the current condition of their musculo-skeletal system. Most people with joint and muscle pain do not have and never have had a regular and systematic strength and flexibility training program.

 

The decline of strength and flexibility begins early in life. Schools don't include a strength and flexibility program in PhysEd lessons - and yet there is the opportunity to start or end each PhysEd lesson with a few strength and flexibility exercises..

Back in Alignment is an individual and class-based strength and flexibility training program, designed to propel fitness centres into the frontline of Physed for the diagnosis and treatment of personally-generated joint and muscle pain.

 


 

The premise is that a high proportion of joint and muscles pain occurs when, over the weeks, months, years and decades, tight muscles gradually pull bones out of alignment.

 

A regular and systematic class-based strength and flexibility exercise session helps keep the skeleton in good alignment and muscles strong enough to support it.
