Back to Action is an exercise programme specifically designed for people with AS. It has been created by physiotherapists working with NASS and the exercise therapists and doctors who treat military personnel with AS at Headley Court. It uses the most up to date knowledge from the fields of physiotherapy and sports medicine.
We have tried to make the programme as clear, straightforward and enjoyable as possible, so that you can use it in a
gym or at home as part of your daily routine.
The programme covers mobility, cardiovascular, strength, flexibility and breathing exercises with additional information on other classes and sport as well as information about AS for gym personnel.
You can download the guide free of charge in pdf form. If you prefer to have a full colour spiral bound copy of the guide you can still purchase a copy from the NASS shop.
Alternatively we have now been able to produce an App for iPhones, iPod touches and iPads. You can download the App completely free of charge from the Apple Shop.
