Back health day 2021
Back Health Day was launched back in 2002 by the Pain Forum of the German Green Cross and has since been continued by the Federal Association of German Back Schools. The aim of the day is to call for active prevention of back problems and to encourage as many players in the healthcare sector as possible to get involved.
On March 15, 2021, the 20th Back Health Day took place nationwide and the University of Kassel's General University Sports was represented this year with a special offer for interested parties. Although a physical event was unfortunately not possible due to the current situation, the health project "Streck-DICH - Campus der Bewegt" developed a small, digital event together with its cooperation partner, Techniker Krankenkasse, consisting of an expert lecture and two exercise programs.
As part of the expert lecture, the speaker, Edmund Böttcher, addressed the topic of back health from various perspectives and dispelled some persistent myths surrounding back problems. Afterwards, the almost 50 participants were able to take part in two guided courses (back fitness or yoga) to actively do something for their own back health.
The health project Streck-DICH of the General University Sports would like to thank all participants for the successful event and looks forward to seeing you again soon in similar formats - perhaps in April, in the new online lecture from the field of nutrition - as well as in the existing course offerings.
