Choose your remedies carefully There are many approaches to stretching tight back muscles that involve rounding the back. Though these exercises give temporary relief, we recommend against them because they threaten the spinal discs, nerves, and ligaments. They can also result in the back muscles contracting even more tightly to stabilize the area. 

Our new and exciting SpineTracker wearable is available for use! Our participating teachers use this technology to help you:

Store baselines of the shape of your spine in sitting, standing, and bending

Understand the connection between your movements and changes in the shape of your spine

Establish a target shape for you to aim for in training your posture

Discover techniques, exercises, and activities to help you improve your target shape

Track your changes over time, using graphics and quantitative measurements of the curves in your lower back
 

Our test students love SpineTracker and have gotten great benefit from it—we’re now ready to share these benefits with all our students!
