Do I need fitness experience?

No. This class is beginner-friendly and open to all levels of fitness. We’ll meet you where you are.

Is this safe if I’m currently experiencing back pain?

This class focuses on biomechanics — retraining how your body organizes movement as a whole. It’s a more holistic, long-term approach designed to improve how you stand, walk, and move through space.

Core Training for Lower Back Pain

By Functional Patterns Chattanooga

Overview

Learn how to stabilize your core and move without pain in this 2-hour class covering fundamental corrective exercise techniques.

Lower back pain can stem from many different causes — injuries, posture habits, or muscular imbalances — but it almost always involves a weak or poorly coordinated core.
This class is designed to help you reconnect to that foundation.

In this 2 hour hands-on session, you’ll learn how to:

Activate your core through functional movement, not mindless crunches
Identify and release tension patterns that overload certain muscles
Improve posture, breathing, and gait mechanics to support a resilient back
Apply simple strategies at home to keep your progress going

This class blends movement education, core integration, and biomechanically-based training to help you move the way your body was designed to — efficiently and pain-free.

Anyone dealing with lower back pain, stiffness, or recurring flare-ups. All levels welcome.
