Back pain is a common condition that affects many people at different times in their lives. However, there are several myths and misconceptions we’d like to clear up:

1️⃣ “Complete rest is the best option for back pain.”
While short periods of rest may help relieve acute pain, prolonged inactivity can actually lead to loss of physical capacity. It’s important to balance rest with guided and appropriate physical activity.

2️⃣ “I shouldn’t exercise when my back hurts.”
In reality, exercise is not harmful and doesn’t “damage” your back. On the contrary, physical activity can help improve your condition when done correctly.

3️⃣ “Back pain always means a serious spine problem.”
Only about 3% of back pain cases are caused by severe conditions. Most back pain is multifactorial. Think of it like a water balloon — as it fills, it becomes more likely to burst. Pain can arise when multiple factors combine to make your body more vulnerable.

4️⃣ “Surgery is the only solution for back pain.”
Surgery is considered only as a last resort. Physiotherapy is the first-line and most recommended treatment for back pain.

Back pain: what could it mean?

Back pain is one of the most common health complaints worldwide, affecting up to 80% of adults at some point in their lives. It can be frustrating, persistent, and sometimes limiting in daily activities or work.

But here’s the thing: back pain rarely has just one cause. It’s influenced by multiple factors: not only physical (like posture, muscle strength, or movement habits), but also lifestyle, stress, sleep, and even social environment.

The latest evidence shows that:
✅ Staying active is better than bed rest
✅ Exercise and movement are the most effective long-term strategies
✅ Physiotherapy helps by guiding safe movement, improving strength and flexibility, and addressing lifestyle factors that keep pain going

In short: your back pain isn’t the same as someone else’s — which is why an individualized approach matters.
