LOW BACK PAIN TUTORIAL
Are you frustrated by “One Size Fits All” approaches to low back pain, but not sure what else to do for your clients?
In this tutorial you will:
- Learn a movement-based approach to working with clients who have an array of low back pain sources
- Acquire a progression of corrective exercise techniques for clients either with diagnosed injuries or unspecified pain
- Review musculoskeletal anatomy to better understand how bodies move, adapt, maladapt, get injured, experience pain, and heal
- Learn common pathologies to better understand the cascade of your body’s response to tissue injury, as well as how pain is commonly patterned in response to these injuries
- Study up-to-date, biopsychosocial pain science that breaks down old beliefs in order to paint a more accurate picture of the often complicated and counterintuitive behavior of pain
What to Expect in our Low Back Pain Tutorial
- One hour of corrective exercise techniques
- 45 minutes of pain science, anatomy, biomechanics and kinesiology
- Watch immediately upon purchase, video will be available May 8th!
- Tutorials are available forever
- 1 hour 45 minute viewing time

WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING
“I found the low back pain tutorial to be a great resource! Both in understanding how different ways of movement might affect pain levels (eg flexion vs extension), as well as giving me some real tangible exercises to play around with in my own body and hopefully 11integrate with my patients. I also had so many resounding “YES!” moments in listening to you women speak. The idea of posterior tilt not being a moral failing (I laughed out loud), and the idea of observing/treating someone through movement, and not diagnosis-based (solely). I feel lucky to have crossed paths with you and intend to soak up all that I can!” - Erica Rodas, Occupational Therapist

ABOUT MOVEMENT LOGIC
The Movement Logic tutorials aim to enhance your problem-solving skills so you can work more effectively with your students and clients who are injured or in pain.
Become Anatomically and Biomechanically Informed
- Learn musculoskeletal anatomy to better understand how bodies move, adapt, maladapt, get injured, experience pain, and heal
- Familiarize yourself with common pathologies to better understand the cascade of your body's response to tissue injury, as well as how pain is commonly patterned in response to these injuries
Understand Pain
- You'll study up-to-date, biopsychosocial pain science that breaks down old beliefs in order to paint a more accurate picture of the often complicated and counterintuitive behavior of pain
- The biopsychosocial model is a holistic perspective to pain that looks at the relationship between your biology, your mind, and society, and how those elements together influence your whole body experience of pain
Acquire Teaching skills
- You will acquire corrective exercise techniques for helping private clients who have diagnosed injuries as well as those with unspecified pain
- You'll learn best practices for presenting these corrective exercises in a group class

Shoulderstand gets a bad rap. Teachers avoid it because they’ve been told it’s dangerous, and then they pass on that fear mongering to their students. Unfortunately this approach to teaching doesn’t help student learn anything about their bodies, and really just reinforces student dependence on a “teacher” as the authority on what they do and don’t do with their body.
We’ve even received some *horrified* (and not very thoughtful) emails about it – which only strengthens our standpoint (and our neck and shoulders).
We’re not here to debate if shoulderstand is a “good” or “bad” yoga pose (spoiler: there’s no such thing, and let’s stop freaking each other out about it. Attempts to do so are more after about exerting authority than genuinely trying to help, anyway.)
What we are saying is that as teachers and practitioners, we need *a toolbox of practical concepts* to facilitate the general principles of variability and progressive overload, so that we can adequately prepare the student in front of us not only for a yoga pose, but for resilience in all their movements.
Here’s Jesal demonstrating Chair Shoulderstand variation from our Neck Tutorial. This exercise takes a familiar yoga pose - shoulderstand - and adds a supportive dimension to decrease the potential for neck strain or discomfort.
If you feel like you’re missing some of those tools, are stuck in a teaching rut, or just want to shake things up and get inspired, our Neck Tutorial is for you. It’s only $129.99 and it's available until Monday.

shoulderstand” Padme says “You can modify it for me!” Anakin is silent, Padme says “You can’t modify it for me?” Video ID: Jesal demonstrates shoulderstand in a chair variation]
