The study was run by Health Sciences University in Bournemouth, and hosted and taught by Pavilion Dance. <\/p>\n
Last year, the team looked at three groups over 6 weeks to see if dancing could help with the condition.<\/p>\n
“Basic exercises can be boring, adherence to exercise planning is difficult,” said Neil Langridge, director of the Institute of Musculoskeletal Health at the university.<\/p>\n
“Patients with lower back pain are scared to move, but they also find that exercises focusing on one part of their body are difficult and sometimes overly painful.”<\/p>\n
“This gives a different context – it takes you out of the medical environment and it gives you a social group to work with and share your experiences.”<\/p>\n
After the study, participants reported feeling more confident and less afraid of movement – as well as distracted from their pain, he said.<\/p>\n
The class is now ongoing and has become “part of the community,” said Langridge.<\/p>\n
“It’s quite joyful when you see them doing their exercises, you can see that they’re actually having fun.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The study was run by Health Sciences University in Bournemouth, and hosted and taught by Pavilion Dance.
