Back
pain can have many causes, from a simple muscle strain
to infection or other potentially serious conditions.
It is important to know what is causing the problem, so
first consult your GP. He or she may suggest a treatment
plan, or may decide that you need to be referred to a
specialist for further tests or treatment.
 When
any medical treatment is completed, you will be encouraged
to continue the improvement with a suitable programme
of personal back care. Leading health professionals
agree that the best treatment for most back problems
includes regular appropriate movement.
Yoga
offers gentle guided exercise, as well as the added
advantages of relaxation and stress management. For
your safety and in order to continue your progress,
it is important to attend classes on a regular basis
with a teacher who has specialist back care expertise.
Please
inform Ruth of the nature of your back problem and any
medical or other treatment (chiropractic, osteopathy
etc) that you have received, so that she can suggest
the most helpful class for you. In most cases she will
recommend at least one individual class at first, so
that she can assess the situation before you start general
classes. As all Ruth's general classes are 'back-friendly',
many people with back problems receive great benefit
from attending regularly.
Please
contact Ruth for further information about any of the
classes.

If
you have any other medical condition or are pregnant,
please check with your doctor before attending.
