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:

1. Get Educated
2. Take Control
3. Get fit

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.

Yours in movement,
