For Healthcare Professionals
“Exercise is frequently recommended by health care providers for promoting wellness, preventing injury, and even for rehabilitation of various musculoskeletal disorders.
Unfortunately, compliance rates with exercise programs are dismally low.
Published data 1,2 reports that merely 50% of patients who are prescribed exercise for common
musculoskeletal complaints remain compliant after 6 months.
These same studies indicate that time commitment was the most common factor leading to noncompliance.
An exercise protocol that circumvents excessive time commitment while still adhering to
sound physiologic principles and providing documented results would be of great interest
to the lay public as well as those prescribing exercise for therapeutic reasons.”

Back In Power is dedicating this portion of the site to healthcare professionals. Here we provide an overview of our philosophy and services.
Medicine has advanced considerably over the past 10-15 years and it is vital that physicians, physical therapists, and others in the physical medicine field stay abreast of the changes. Continued use of clinical exercise at Back In Power can be a vital aspect of a treatment plan when applied appropriately and with adequate knowledge of the protocol.
A New Paradigm
In 1982, researchers discovered the benefits of slow, controlled weight resistance exercise while working with approximately 100 women ages 25-75 who were impaneled at the University of Florida Medical School in the largest clinical study ever conducted on exercise and osteoporosis research.
The protocol was developed through the management of the $3.5 million dollar osteoporosis study to determine the effect exercise might have on bone strength. Forced to abandon traditional exercise notions because of injuries sustained by this very fragile population, researchers applied physics and engineering principles to human biomechanics to discover the safest, most efficient and productive exercise protocol known.
As a result, each woman, one-by-one, in a single voice, said they experienced improved quality of and energy for life as a result of their participation in high-intensity, low force strength training exercise (individually determined based on their own limitations).
Since that time, the technique has been perfected, combining the latest in engineering technology of equipment design, classical sciences (physics, biology, chemistry, etc.), motor learning principles, and the most recent, up-to-date research involving exercise physiology.
As an exercise philosophy, the Back In Power protocol encompasses a broad spectrum of considerations. It is by far the safest, most productive and structured way to exercise.
