Factors in Back Pain - Framing the Discussion from a Clinical and Anatomical Perspective

Course overview

Back pain affects 8 out of every 10 people at some point in their lives, meaning that most massage therapists are likely to confront this issue regularly in their practices. Back pain is the number one cause of lost workdays in the United States and the second most common reason why people seek medical advice from a physician. Join clinical practitioner Clint Chandler for a discussion that explores common types of back pain, terminology used by the medical profession, the anatomical complexity of the spine, the biomechanics involved in spinal movements, and the mechanisms of back injury. Clint brings his extensive background working with the public and with the medical profession to illuminate and enhance our practical understanding.
