Essential Back Care: 4 Simple and Effective Techniques for 2025

As we get ready to ring in 2025, let’s ensure your back feels its absolute best!

I’ve rounded up some of the best back-focused posts from 2024 to ease tension and help your back feel amazing.

“Erase Back Tension Instantly with This Blanket Technique”

Whenever I feel the slightest discomfort in my upper back creeping in—like the tension from sitting at the computer or standing for a long time prepping food in the kitchen—I stop whatever I’m doing to practice the exercise in this video.

It’s a quick and effective way to reset your body and prevent yourself from getting locked up in the positions you spend the most time in. Plus, it just feels FANTASTIC.

“Unclump Your Spine and Alleviate Back Tension with This Unusual Cat-Cow Technique”

The cat-cow is a popular exercise packed with benefits like:

  • Improved spinal flexibility
  • Enhanced blood flow 
  • Reduced tension and stiffness in the back
  • Improved coordination

In this video, you’ll learn a slow-down technique to help you feel where the stuck, “clumped-up” parts of your spine are and begin to restore movement.

Check out the exercise in this video if you want to:

  • Improve your posture and alignment
  • Feel an incredible back and shoulder stretch
  • Have a simple yet effective exercise in your back pocket you can easily fit into your day
  • Relieve tightness in the back, shoulders, hips, and hamstrings
  • Improve mobility in your thoracic spine and shoulders

No exaggeration: I do this exercise at least five times a day!

P.S.  If getting stronger and more flexible is at the top of your 2025 wish list, the Alignment Studio (formerly known as Pilates Tonic Online) doors are open and ready to help.

We’ve packed this online program with restorative exercises (material you won’t find in a regular Pilates class) that help improve alignment and ease aches and pains as you get stronger and more flexible.

Alignment Studio is for anyone who wants to rediscover their body’s natural potential. Whether you want to move through your day with greater ease, build sustainable strength in previously painful or challenging areas, or just enjoy long walks and hikes knowing your feet, knees, and hips are stable, strong, and pain-free—this program meets you where you are.

I’ll share more information in January, but registration is open now if you’re ready to join and start your transformation.

You can find all the details on the information page linked below.

The price will increase on February 1, so now is a great time to sign up and lock in the current price.
