Attended a great seminar on lower back care. Mike Robertson was the speaker (there is a link to his soft tissue ebook i the archives), and it was a very thorough overview of back care and exercise prescription. This really cemented most of my beliefs in training principles and how to maximise performance.
Lots of emphasis on achieving a neutral spine and progressing to big bang for your buck exercises. He also went through the limitations with Pilates and a lot of other training that is meant to cure back pain. Often the back pain is just a symtom of a bigger underlying issue. We need to treat the cause and not just the site of pain.
Mike is a great guy and very easy to talk to. I was lucky enough to chat with him at lunch and pick his brain a bit. Also met a couple of other guys, who train or compete at a high level, these events are always great to generate more enthusiasm to educate others. The seminar was put on by Centrality, Paul Reid is in charge of things there and also puts on lots of top class seminars.
If you want to bring up an area in your life, find people who know how to achieve and learn from them. If you want to learn more about improving your performance let me know.
Eat well and train hard!
