After the workout we got a chance to talk to some of the other members about their thoughts on Jazzercise. Nan Conway has been a long time member and fan: “What I love about Jazzercise is obviously the dancing, which is different every day, but also the friends I make. And I also went from a size 10 to a size 4...which is a pretty nice achievement all from doing something that’s a ton of fun.” I think Nan hit the nail right on the head. If you’re looking for a fun activity that has great health benefits then I would strongly
suggest Jazzercise. We met people of all ages who were in there dancing so age is not a factor and the low impact option allows almost anyone to give it a try. If you love to dance or think you might like to dance but are unsure I would definitely try it! Now here’s the good news. Because we are working with Jazzercise, Kathy (the owner) has given me free passes for all of my clients to try 1-2 weeks free. Just contact us and we can get you these passes. One request - If you go please don’t ask anyone how I danced (ha).

WHAT IS CAUSING YOUR BACK PAIN?
There are a lot of different reasons that back pain can develop. Even when you break down injuries, whether from overuse or athletic pursuits, there are different problems that can develop. Sprains and strains are common, but so are issues with the vertebrae, blood flow, and even concerns regarding the spinal nerves. You might be amazed to discover the different factors that could be influencing your back health. Such as: • Your personal level of physical activity, including how often you exercise and the intensity of your typical workouts. • The types of shoes that you wear, in addition to how frequently you walk in different types of shoes, particularly shoes that lack support or those with high heels. • Prolonged engagement in sedentary behavior, including sitting at a desk for eight hours or more consecutive days of the week, or spending free time on the couch or otherwise relaxed. Aerobic activity and strength training exercises actually make it possible to reduce your risk of injury and to improve your ability to overcome back pain by strengthening the vertebrae and improving blood flow and nutrient disbursement throughout the back. When you are inactive, blood flow can actually become impeded, and this can have a negative effect on the overall health of your back and spine.
How Physical Therapy Helps Anyone who has struggled with back pain can tell you plain and simple: When your back is hurting, there is no way to pretend that it isn’t. Simply going from sedentary activity to being active and healthy isn’t an option — at least not so easily. It takes time and effort, and when back pain is obstructing you from getting started, it requires help. Physical therapy can help you overcome back pain by giving you the knowledge and support necessary to help your back feel better, giving you the option to get off the couch and push yourself to reach new goals. Working with a licensed and experienced physical therapist ensures that you do not take on too much too quickly, but instead are guided through the process of healing with gradual steps.
