Clinical Exercise
CLINICAL EXERCISE IS AN EXERCISE BASED THERAPY THAT :

Clinical exercise has been shown to reduce pain levels and improve overall functioning in people who suffer from chronic ailments, including low back pain.
Clinical exercise is also a great form of exercise for fit and uninjured people who would like to have a tailored program to improve, strength, flexibility and posture.
