<p style="text-align: center;">Guess what is my favorite muscle to exercise? I am sure you guessed it; I love to work my back and I often receive compliments for it.</p>
<p>My mother told me few stories of how I had serious falls as a kid; down slide, in the winter while tubing and I even had a concussion while biking with my dad when I was 6. My mother had brought me to see quite a few therapists/healers. I remember clearly the first time I had acute back pain, I was 13 years old. I was stepping out of a car and my back seized , it lasted a few days. At 19 years old I had serious car accident where I broke my femur and cracked a few ribs. A few years later, I had another car accident with a serious whiplash and not even a year after that I got hit by a ten-wheel truck while biking. I must have been a cat in another life, lol! I have been through a lot of pain and many back sprains. Every few months my back seized and I was in pain for weeks at the time. I have seen around 40 different therapists, from chiropractor, massage therapist, osteopath, kinesiologist, Rolfing, to name a few…</p>

<p>I became a fitness professional in an attempt to heal myself and get out of cycle of pain and injury. I chose to be pro-active and get stronger. I feel so empowered now that I am strong and not in pain anymore! It took a while and I am sure that every therapist that I saw helped me. It’s so important to work on back muscle to improve posture, be free of pain. I have been breastfeeding my two little boys for around 2 years each and I am sure all theses strengthening exercises helped. I want to share with you some of my favorite ways to strengthen my upper back.</p>
