Understanding Lower Back Pain
Low back pain is one of the most common physical complaints in our community—yet despite how often it affects us, confusion and misinformation still surround it. In this interactive presentation, we’ll explore what low back pain really is, what it isn’t, and how you can take practical steps to prevent it, manage it, and recover confidently. Dr. Kenton Keeslar and Dr. Kevin Nowacki, physical therapists and co-owners of Elevate Human Performance, will cut through the myths, explain what the latest science tells us, and give you clear, actionable strategies to improve your back health—whether you're dealing with discomfort now or simply want to stay strong and mobile as you age.
Expect real talk, no gimmicks, and tools you can actually use. Whether you’re a weekend warrior, desk job warrior, or somewhere in between, this session is for you. Come away with a better understanding of your body, what pain means, and how movement, mindset, and simple lifestyle shifts can make all the difference.
