Four out of five people under 45 years of age are likely to suffer from a serious episode of low back pain at some point in their lives. This can result in them being unable to perform their daily activities and hence lose working days. Low back injuries will usually heal within weeks but for most people, they reoccur within one year and long-term healing becomes difficult to archive.

Getting the right treatment for low back pain will make all the difference in healing completely. The right treatment will also prevent suffering a downward spiral in recurrent back injuries that can lead to a long-term dependence on pain medication, failed back syndrome, or even surgery.

Dr Vijay Vad, a physician who dedicated his career to treating athletes, spent years researching remedies for back pain and came up with an eight week, fifteen minutes a day exercise program. What makes this program unique is the fact that it combines Pilates and medical yoga to cure low back pain, restore strength, flexibility and prevent future injuries.

The program has helped cure thousands of patients with low back injuries and reduce low back pain.
