All Better Back Program Physiotherapists have both Physiotherapy and Sport and Exercise university degrees, and have received additional training in spinal rehabilitation.
Because each individual is different, the active-based approach of the program differs slightly for each individual, however, your Better Back Program exercises will be progressed through 4 stages:
| Stage | Description | |
| 1 | Alignment | Flexibility and range of motion |
| 2 | Inner core unit | Inner core unit muscle control |
| 3 | Outer core unit | Larger muscle group control, more advanced exercises |
| 4 | Maintenance / Athletic | Advanced, high level exercises specific to your sport, work, and functional goals |
The exercise and educational based program is based on the latest scientific research available.
