In most cases, back pain results from bad posture. Not because you sit at your desk all day, or because you lifted heavy bags out of your trunk.
It's because you have poor posture, which results in weak muscles and in turn makes everyday activities more difficult.
Resulting in back pain.
Preventing back pain really takes some work.
You first have to figure out where you're weak. A good physiotherapist can tell you right away where you need to strengthen.
For most of us, the problem is sitting up straight. We round our shoulders, and end up stretching the muscles across the back and shrinking the ones in the front. This causes an imbalance and also postural problems.
Have you ever looked at a baby sitting on the floor? Their little legs are stretched out in front of them, and their backs are perfectly straight. It's incredible.
Have you tried to sit like that now as an adult? It's pretty challenging. Not many people can comfortably sit in that position for very long. If you can...good for you!
If for just 10 minutes, 3 times a day you practiced sitting or standing with perfect posture you can work on strengthening those muscles that have become weak and stretched out.
Channel your inner baby and sit up straight!
