My Excel gym teacher says that I have lower back problems because I can't do squats properly. I'll would be doing everything right,focusing,looking at the cieling while doing it, deep breathing,ext. But when ever I go down to do my squats my heals always go up no matter what. Is it possible that I have lower back problems?If so what could have caused it?

See a doctor or possibly even a chiropractor if you're really worried about it.
From what you've described, it sounds like your form is wrong, and that you have an idiot for a gym teacher who doesn't understand that. Your back could be fine. You may be leaning forward a bit, and your body may be compensating and balancing the best it can. Without seeing you do a squat, nobody on here is going to be able to tell you for sure what's happening beyond that.

I think that's a load of crap! Just because your heels raise up off the floor doesn't automatically mean you have a back problem! geez louise! Did you gym teacher go to chiropractic school or is a licensed orthopedist? no, probably not. If you want to find out...go to a chiropractor and he/she will tell you if you have any misalignments or potential back problems. Your gym teacher does not know.

I can't see how the gym teacher could say it was a back problem.
Could be a form problem and you are compensating for balance by lifting your heels. Could be a flexiblilty problem in your calves and ankles (may try stretching and the "downward dog" pose).
Do you have pain in your back? Can you touch your toes easily?

Could be lots of things including scoliosis. Get Kit Laughlin's book: "Overcoming neck and back pain"... it's a wonderful guide to eliminating back pain.
