      What is Smart CORE?

      Smart CORE is an 8-week education and exercise program for those who are struggling with lower back pain, as well as those who may not have lower back pain, but want to learn how to better strengthen and stretch their spine.

      Two 60-Minute Education Sessions:

      • Causes of lower back pain
      • Which structures get injured
      • Risk factors
      • Available treatments
      • The latest research for lower back exercises

      Fourteen 60-Minute Exercise Sessions:

      • How to stretch your body safely
      • Safe lifting mechanics

      What Makes Smart CORE Unique

      • Every participant is screened to ensure they are safe to enter the program.
      • Appropriate for those currently experiencing lower back pain.
      • Helps you understand why you have back pain and how to prevent it.
      • Based on the latest evidence about how to best manage back pain.

      Tim was very knowledgeable and took the time to really get to know what was going on with my injuries. Tim knew what was up with my shoulder and worked very hard to produce the results I was hoping for when I made my massage therapy appointment. I will definitely be coming back!
