🚫 BUSTING 3 COMMON LOW BACK PAIN MYTHS! πŸ’₯

Back pain is frustrating, but outdated advice can make it worse.

Let’s clear a few things up πŸ‘‡

πŸ”Ή Myth 1: β€œLow back pain means something is damaged.”

βœ… Most cases are non-specific, often caused by tension, stress, or inactivity, not serious injury.

πŸ”Ή Myth 2: β€œRest is best.”

βœ… Too much rest can slow recovery. Gentle movement and staying active help!

πŸ”Ή Myth 3: β€œPoor posture causes back pain.”

βœ… There’s no perfect posture. What matters most? Moving regularly.

🎯 Movement is medicine, not fear.

πŸ’¬ Got questions? We’re here to help.
