Conclusions and Relevance In this cohort study, daily walking volume and walking intensity were inversely associated with the risk of chronic LBP. The findings suggest that walking volume may have a more pronounced benefit than walking intensity.

Why Walking Works Wonders for Your Back

Walking is more than good exercise—it’s specifically therapeutic for your spine. Here’s how it helps:

Physical Benefits

Walking specifically helps your back by strengthening core and postural muscles, improving blood flow to spinal tissues, and counteracting stiffness from sitting too long. It can also help manage weight, which reduces pressure on the spine.

“Movement reduces the risk of back pain in several ways,” Gavin Williams, a physical therapist and health writer for fitness and wellness brands, told The Epoch Times. “It increases circulation, maintains muscle mass, supports a healthier neuromuscular system, and helps keep ligaments and tendons supple.”

Neurological Reset

Walking can help “reset” the nervous system, calming an oversensitive brain and spinal cord that may keep sending pain signals even without injury, Ide-Don said. It retrains the body to see movement as safe, rather than threatening, and breaks up long periods of sitting.

Mood and Pain Relief

Like other aerobic exercise, walking releases endorphins—your body’s natural “feel-good” hormones—which boost mood and help ease pain.
