Permanently Relieve Back Pain Through Targeted Exercise – in Basel

Back pain is one of the most common complaints among people who spend a lot of time sitting—at the office, in the car, or on the couch in the evening. Do you sit for 8 hours a day and know that feeling of having to warm up a bit after getting up?

The usual instinct: rest, stretch, and wait it out. That’s usually the wrong strategy. What really helps: targeted strengthening of the core and back muscles. With the right plan, the right technique—and the right trainer.

Why Targeted Exercise Helps with Back Pain

A weak core is often the underlying cause of chronic back pain. If the deep stabilizing muscles—the abdomen, back, and hips—aren’t strong enough, the body compensates by adopting incorrect movement patterns. This leads to strain and pain.

Targeted training addresses precisely this underlying cause—with lasting results, without medication, and without endless physical therapy.

What We'll Do With You


Analysis of Your Movement Patterns

Before we start training, let's take a close look: Where are the weak spots? Which muscles are underactive? Which movements cause pain?





Targeted Core and Back Training

We'll develop a plan tailored to your specific situation—with exercises that help and without those that make things worse.

Proper Technique from the Start

Exercises performed incorrectly can worsen back pain. Starting with Session 1, we make sure every movement is performed correctly.

Mobility for the Hip and Thoracic Spine

Limited hip mobility is a common contributing factor to back pain. We combine strength training with targeted flexibility exercises.

Important Note

Personal training is not a substitute for medical or physical therapy treatment for acute or severe conditions. If you are experiencing severe or new pain, we recommend seeking a medical evaluation first. For chronic conditions, we are happy to work in consultation with your doctor or physical therapist.
