Back Fit is a progressive exercise programme intertwined with advice and education for low back pain, guided by Chartered Physiotherapist, David Bowmaker.

Back Fit is for people who have an acute episode of back pain, chronic or recurring back pain, or who want to try and prevent back pain. The programme is for people who have non-specific low back pain (NSLBP).

Please be aware that this programme is for educational purposes only and does not replace specific medical advice. You should seek professional medical advice from a suitable healthcare practitioner if required.

Education is at the heart of the Back Fit programme. Following an initial lecture (discussing back pain, movement, function and what you can do to help yourself), you will be guided through a range of exercise options that can help your pain, give you the confidence to move, improve the function of your back.

This programme does not profess to cure ‘Back Pain’ as we do not feel that this is possible. Back pain is commonly a lifestyle issue and making changes to your lifestyle can have a significant positive impact on your pain and function. Back Fit will help identify the changes relevant to you that will help you on the journey to recovery.

The online Back Fit programme consists of 6 episodes spaced apart weekly to make sure you progress steadily:

Week 1 - Education and Positional Awareness

Week 2 - Movement, Posture and Muscle Activation

Week 3 - Progressive Loading and Movement

Week 4 - Progressive Loading

Week 5 - Spinal Flexibility and Control

Week 6 - Spinal Strength and Complex Movements
