pain with household chores, even back pain with transitioning from sit to stand. Many people have back pain that prevents them from participating in
sports that they love and it leads to a sedentary lifestyle. The longer people are sedentary the more fear they have of moving. Ginger is a Fellow of Orthopedics and has helped countless numbers of people with back pain return to their normal lifestyle including tennis and golf.
