One of the most popular ways to exercise in Vancouver is to scurry your way up the Grouse Grind. Almost everyone I know does this rigorous climb at least once a week. While the Grind certainly proves to be a challenging workout, when done with incorrect posture – it can aggravate neck and shoulders muscles, and trigger or worsen lower back pain. Protect yourself by preventing injuries...

Unfortunately, the average Grinder drives up to the hill and hops out of the car and starts hiking. This activity combined with a full days work at a computer work station and you are a prime candidate for neck and low back pain.

No birds would fly without stretching their wings out after hours of relaxing in a nest. Nor should you!

Before you would throw yourself at those famous stairs – or any exercise routine learn how to warm-up and stretch and prevent the onset of pain and potential soft tissue injuries. While yoga has been providing the essential limbering needs of millions around the world, Stretch Therapy has been the secret to elite athletes.
