Low back pain (LBP) is the leading global cause of years lived with disability and places a significant socioeconomic burden upon individuals and health systems worldwide.

A recent JoP study found that people who have experienced low back pain are open to using exercise to reduce their risk of recurrence; however, they tend to prefer exercise programs that differ from those exercise programs that are known to be effective.

Did you know that how you think about your pain can change the way it feels? And, the amount of pain you experience doesn’t necessarily equate to ‘damage’.

Pain is a mechanism produced by our bodies for protection.

It’s day three of our LBP venture, and today, we’re tackling the myth that everyday loading and bending leads to backs ‘wearing out’. ! In fact, the same way that lifting weights makes muscles stronger, moving and loading can make the back stronger and healthier. Just make sure you start gradually and practice regularly.
