Abstract

Back pain is one of the most common causes of disability in the United States. It is extremely common among working class Americans who find themselves spending their days working and taking care of household chores, leaving no time to take care of their bodies. It is important that people make an effort to include movement in their daily routines; this can help them to avoid the onset of many conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and chronic back pain. It is also important that people have easily accessible resources that explain how to include more movement into their lives safely. I have created a pamphlet, Prezi presentation, and YouTube video that I hope will be useful tools for people who are at risk or are already suffering from back pain.
