The low back pain mistake almost everyone makes

If you’ve ever had low back pain, someone has probably told you this:

“Your back is tight. You need to stretch more.”

It sounds logical.

Tight muscle → stretch it → problem solved.

Except…

For a lot of people with recurring low back pain, stretching actually makes it worse.

Here’s why.

Most low back pain isn’t caused by muscles being too tight.

It’s caused by muscles not stabilising properly.

Your brain is supposed to activate small stabilising muscles in your spine milliseconds before you move.

Muscles like the multifidus and deep core stabilisers.

When that timing system stops working properly (often after stress, injury, or long periods of sitting), the body does something clever:

It tightens larger muscles around the area to protect the spine.

So the tightness people feel?

Often it’s protective tension, not the real problem.

When you aggressively stretch those muscles, you sometimes remove the body’s protection without fixing the underlying stability issue.

Which is why people say things like:

"My back was good… then it just went again."

The real solution usually involves:

• Improving nervous system control of stabilising muscles
• Restoring proper spinal movement patterns
• Reducing the stress load on the nervous system
• Gradually rebuilding strength and coordination

This is why some people have back pain for years…

…and others recover quickly once the right systems are working again.

Anyway, that’s your quick back pain myth for the week.

Valentine’s Day often focuses on flowers, chocolates, and romantic gestures—but at its heart, this day is about love. And the most important love we can celebrate is the love we have for ourselves.

Wellness isn’t just green smoothies and gym sessions. It’s how we speak to ourselves. It’s setting boundaries. It’s choosing rest when we’re tired and movement when we need energy. It’s nourishing our bodies, protecting our peace, and giving ourselves permission to slow down.

This Valentine’s Day, consider expanding the meaning of love:

💗 Love your body by fueling it with foods that make you feel strong and energized.
💗 Love your mind by unplugging from comparison and practicing gratitude.
💗 Love your heart by spending time with people who uplift you.
💗 Love your spirit by doing something that brings you joy—without guilt.

Whether you’re celebrating with a partner, friends, family, or enjoying your own company, remember: your relationship with yourself sets the tone for every other relationship in your life.

So light the candle. Take the long bath. Go for the walk. Book the workout. Journal your thoughts. Say “no” when you need to. Say “yes” to what lights you up.

Because the most lasting love story you’ll ever have… is the one you build with yourself. 💕

Happy Valentine’s Day—may it be full of love, wellness, and intention.
