Bio:

Tanya (Weiker) Snowden is the HEALTHY BACKS & BODIES™ Program Creator, Master Instructor, Safety Consultant, and Back Health Specialist. She is a Sports-Orthopedic Physical Therapist, Certified Ergonomics Assessment Specialist (CEAS), Advanced Office Ergonomics Assessment Specialist (AOEAS), Remote Ergonomics Assessment Specialist (REAS), JFB-MFR Clinician, and patented inventor of the TheraBand® CLX, as well as a published author.

‘If only I had known this sooner…’

During her time as an Orthopedic SportsHealth Spine Specialist at The Cleveland Clinic, it was this sentiment, frequently shared with Tanya by her ‘back’ patients as she taught them how to re-train and re-store proper body positions and the underlying biomechanics innate to safe, healthy, efficient movement, that eventually catapulted her out into the injury prevention training arena. Knowing that much of this pain & dysfunction, and many of these injuries, were preventable if only people knew how to inhabit their bodies and move them correctly, Tanya created HEALTHY BACKS & BODIES™ to reach a larger audience and to reach them ahead of time.

Her programs are the culmination of 30 years of hands-on treating, clinical insight, clinical and corporate teaching, and her intense drive to empower people and corporations to take action before the pain and dysfunction show themselves. She teaches and consults with the conviction and passion that can only come from an authentic love for the subject matter and from one who lives it every day.
