In March 2022, NSHF CEO, Dr. Rita Roy spoke with healthline about how to safely ease back into workouts in a way that is spine-safe. This conversation comes at an important times as people return to public gyms and COVID-19 regulations are loosened.
Dr. Roy points out that spine health yields total body health.
“When you take care of your spine, you’re taking care of your whole body.

Dr. Roy also speaks to awareness of the spine’s anatomy.
