The SmartYoga Lower Back Program Exercise Manual

A practical manual of education and empowerment for the prevention and healing of low back pain and dysfunction. It is our assertion here that most (if not all) low back pain and dysfunction is caused by one or more of these habitual patterns of distortion and collapse.

These conditions include:
- Bulging/Herniated Intervertebral discs
- Ischemia and Fibromyalgia
- Bursitis, Tendonitis and injuries to ligaments
- Sciatica and other forms of nerve entrapment and compression
- Sacroiliac joint dysfunction and pain

This manuals will provide the solution to these issues by establishing a mobile core capable of flexion, extension, side bending, and rotation while remaining strong.

In my years of practice I have found that true healing depends on two important factors: education and empowerment. It is not enough, in my experience, to simply perform an exercise or technique.To truly heal we have to understand the reason the problem occurred in the first place, how to heal it and how to prevent the problem from reappearing in the future. That is why I have not only included a clear description of the exercises, but also a basic explanation of how and why they work. This allows you to adapt and integrate the lessons of the exercises beyond the minutes you spend performing them daily.
