Alleviate Low Back Pain

Back pain is one of the most common types of pain among adults in the United States. Such pain can be caused by strained muscles or ligaments, excess weight, poor posture, psychological problems, or ordinary activities, such as sitting and bending. Nearly 40% of adults in the U.S. suffer from back pain according to a 2019 National Health Survey. It is also the leading cause of disability among U.S. adults.

According to Makayla McIntosh, a OneFirelight® Certified Pilates Instructor with workouts on the new wellness platform for strengthening the lower back “Today, we frequently bend over, rounding our backs, to pick things up
off of the floor, no matter how heavy. Through hours of sitting, our hips have tightened, and we have lost the ability to squat deeply to the floor.”
