PALS Back Injury Prevention Program

Low back pain is a major contributor to lost work time and can become a major "quality of life" issue. Momentum Therapeutics has been providing a free service for area 5th grade classes over the past 15 years. PALS is a program that teaches children preventive measures with the goal of decreasing future back problems through education. Students learn preventive activities and concepts to help improve posture and body mechanics which protect the muscles and joints of the spine. We integrate fun activities and demonstrations which leave a lasting impression on each child to protect their back.
