Just wanted to mix things up a bit and try out a new method (at least for me!) of getting the information out there.
I put together this short clip discussing the major causes of lower back pain.
Let me know what you think!
Yours in movement,

On this frigid Friday morning, many people braved the cold to get a glimpse of the Olympic torch as it made its way through Toronto.
I had the good fortune to have realized that the torch was actually going to pass right by where I live.
I was able to get the following short video clip from my balcony.
Even from that distance, there was something spectacular about the passing of the flame and the magical essence of the human spirit as expressed through sport.
It took me back 21 years ago to when I was a small child in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, watching that same fire burn as it was passed from torch bearer to torch bearer for the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics.
Yours in the Olympic Spirit.

As you may (or may not) have noticed, I’ve been a little lax on getting new posts up in the last little while.
And for all of my readers out there who missed me, I apologize.
I had the opportunity to take my first vacation in a couple years (only 5 days-which was waaaay too short!) in the warm and sunny Mayan riviera. If you get a chance to go, I highly recommend it.
Beautiful beaches, friendly people and amazing food.
I have officially decided that nothing beats fresh Mexican salsa!!!
Now that my vacation is over, I’m back…More refreshed and energized than ever.
Over the course of my trip I had a chance to chat with some pretty amazing people from all over the world.
When they found out that I was a physical therapist from Toronto who happens to do a lot of work with low back pain, the conversation would eventually turn to back injury and back pain treatments.
As you can see, back pain is a global issue and affects people from all sorts of backgrounds.
Anyway, once we began chatting away I noticed that everything I suggested in terms of treatment options revolved around three major ideas. In fact I repeated them so often, you might say I almost sounded like a broken record.
And here they are, borne on the sunny beaches of Xcaret, Mexico:
Over the next few days I’ll break each one of these down in greater detail so you too can relieve your low back pain. In the mean time, if you’re looking to see what I’ve said about the causes of low back pain before, you can check it out HERE.
