If you suffer from back pain, you’re not alone. Back pain is one of the most common medical problems in the United States. It is estimated that more than 16 million adults experience chronic back pain.

Most back problems are not the result of a single injury but rather, happen after months or years of poor posture, improper body mechanics, tight or weak muscles, and lack of overall fitness. CommonHealth’s Back on Track campaign will provide you with some simple steps to help you care for your back to prevent injury and pain.

Full-time, regular-wage, and college employees are encouraged to attend.  The event is a college work life balance event that does not require the use of your paid leave to attend.  Please receive your supervisor’s approval to participate in this event.
