5 Back Pain Prevention Exercises
As you saw in my last post, the Ontario Chiropractic Association (OCA) is making a series of short exercise videos created by health and fitness professionals.

But occasionally, small modifications need to be made to the exercise to suit your individual needs.

If you experience any pain while completing these stretches, they may not be right for you. Or perhaps, you aren't ready to perform them just yet.
