The Spinal Xercize program was designed to address general back pain. A specialized IM=X program, Spinal Xercize goes beyond general fitness programs to correct back problems. The concept of strengthening and realigning the Spine Stabilization System is at the heart of the Spinal Xercize Program.

IM=X Spinal Xercize:
--Decreases back pain
--Increases function
--Develops muscle mass of the spine
--Develops postural awareness
--Teaches exercise technique

BACKGROUND
Decreases in muscle mass and strength as well as decreases in bone mass and intervertebral disc height are often a result of aging. After 30 years of age, muscles begin to atrophy. This coupled with prolonged periods of sitting and inactivity can result in chronic back pain. The good news is that Spinal Xercize offsets these aging forces by conditioning the muscles of the back.

POSTURE
Intervertebral compression is a result of poor posture and bad movement habits. Spinal Xercize not only stabilizes and strengthens the spine but also teaches clients how to "feel" correct alignment. Clients reach a point of awareness where old postures "feel" uncomfortable and improved postures are fully natural. At this point, they can progress to more challenging exercises without risk of injury. As fitness levels improve, clients become confident in resuming an active lifestyle. The time for this process to be complete varies for each indiviidual based on the history of their injury and fitness level.

CREATING TECHNIQUE
It is common that an individual with back pain learns an exercise only to repeat it at home with incorrect form. For example, many people perform abdominal curls incorrectly resulting in spinal compression. This compression often irritates soft tissues causing pain. Thus, the individual ceases activity to avoid further discomfort. This is commonly referred to as "The Cycle of Deconditioning and Pain."

In the Spinal Xercize Program, clients learn proper technique through hands-on corrections so they can perform exercises to strengthen and correct the spine. Education is a component of recovery and provides the back sufferer with control and understanding.

Spinal Xercize is formulated to create trunk stability and improve spinal health. Regardless of your age or fitness level, Spinal Xercize will provide you with a healthy and strong back.

Regardless of age or fitness level, Spinal Xercize will provide your clients with a healthy and strong back. The Spinal Xercize Certification is included in the franchise system.
