Exercise RX: “Bad Back”
Developing a Strong & Healthy Back
Back injuries occur and re-occur more than any other workplace injury - they are three times more expensive to treat and the toll in lost work time is staggering. Come and learn the things that you can do during and outside of workout sessions to maintain a healthy and strong back.

· 80% of our population will suffer with back pain at some point in their lives! And this 80% does not exclude those of us who exercise!
· The majority of people who report back injury claims are under 35 years old - Back injury is not reserved for just our older populations
· 25 percent of time-loss claims due to work accidents are for back injuries
· The average time-loss from work due to a back injury at work is 3 weeks
· 50 percent of employees who miss more than 6 months of work for a back injury will never return to their previous employment on a regular, full-time basis
· Recurrence rates range from 60 percent to 85 percent
