Learn how you can feel better at work with wellness programs

Low back pain can affect workers of all ages. The CWRU Wellness Program offers two classes to help benefits-eligible faculty and staff improve their core strength, stability and health.

Healthy Backs and Bodies 1 is a four-week course that combines practical applications with current research to improve back health.

Designed and taught by Orthopedic Physical Therapist Tanya Weiker, this class will take place on Tuesdays beginning Feb. 2 at noon in the School of Nursing First Floor Lounge. Registration is available online.

For those who have completed the first Healthy Backs and Bodies class, Weiker created a second level class with a focus on core strengthening. This class takes place Tuesdays beginning Feb. 2 at 1 p.m. in the School of Nursing First Floor Lounge. Registration for the second level class is available online.
