If you do physically demanding work, you may be at greater risk of musculoskeletal injuries that can lead to back pain.

Repetitive tasks, heavy lifting, pushing, pulling and long hours on your feet can place ongoing strain on the spine, increasing the risk of injury and, over time, impacting both physical and mental wellbeing.

Join the Spinal Health Month Movement (1–30 June) and adjust your thinking, because a healthy spine supports a healthy mind.

Kids’ Spinal Health: A healthy spine supports a growing mind.

Modern lifestyle habits are putting young, developing spines under pressure. Back pain becomes more common as children get older - often linked to poor posture, heavy school bags and inactivity from too much screen time.

Prevention is the best protection. Small changes today can make a lifelong difference.
✔ Encourage daily movement and play
✔ Check backpack weight and fit
✔ Break up screen time
✔ Support good posture at home and school

Strong spinal health supports not just physical development, but overall wellbeing. Healthy habits start young, and when poor posture and lifestyle behaviours go unchecked, they can form lifelong patterns that follow children into adulthood.

This Spinal Health Month, take a proactive approach to your child’s spinal health. Adjust your family’s thinking and join the Spinal Health Month (1–30 June) Movement.

💻 Spend hours seated at a computer for work, gaming or study?

Long periods of sitting and inactivity can increase your risk of back pain - often linked to poor posture, incorrect ergonomics and repetitive strain. Over time, this can contribute to musculoskeletal issues and, if left unmanaged can lead to chronic spinal health conditions.

Common signs to watch for:
⚠️ Headaches
⚠️ Neck, shoulder and upper back pain
⚠️ Postural changes over time

Back pain doesn’t just affect the body - it can also impact mental wellbeing, contributing to stress and fatigue.

Adjust your thinking. Prevention starts with simple habits:
✅ Sit upright and stay relaxed
✅ Take regular movement and stretching breaks
✅ Set your screen at eye level
✅ Use a supportive, ergonomic chair
✅ Mix sitting with standing where possible

What type of back pain are you experiencing?

Back pain isn’t one-size-fits-all. Understanding the type of pain you have is the first step toward managing it.

🤔 Non-specific low back pain
Around 8 in 10 cases fall into this category, where there’s no single identifiable cause. Often linked to muscles, joints or everyday strain.

⚡Acute back pain
Short-term pain that can come on suddenly, often from lifting, movement or minor injury.

⏳ Chronic back pain
Pain that persists for 12 weeks or more, sometimes continuing even after the initial cause has resolved.

➡️ Referred or radiating pain
Pain that travels, such as down the leg, often linked to nerve involvement.

🧠 Back pain doesn’t just affect the body - it can also impact mental wellbeing, contributing to stress, fatigue and reduced quality of life.

Understanding your pain is the first step to getting back to feeling good.

From us at Family Tree, we want to share this special event hosted by Ali for parents and babes in arms (though other adults are welcome to attend) run on May 26th 1:30-2:30pm.

The event will explore the tranquil sound of the harp and live plant music being improvised at the same time. If you love sitting with Nature and wish to share this experience with your young baby, then do come along! 🍃🪾

Using a smaller but beautiful sounding harp, which is based on an ancient design, Ali will improvise with live plant music, created by gently placed clips that receive the electronic impulses from plants and transition them into sound waves.

A magical experience in the safety of a welcoming parent and babe in arms experience.✨

✨Register for Spinal Health Month (1-30 June)!✨

This June, get back to feeling good and join hundreds of participants celebrating 30 years of ACA’s Spinal Health Movement. Register for Spinal Health Month and help raise awareness of the link between back pain and mental well-being.

Back pain doesn’t just affect the body - it can contribute to stress, fatigue and reduced quality of life. For Australians in physically demanding or completely sedentary jobs, the risk is even higher. Repetitive tasks, heavy lifting and long hours on your feet can increase both physical discomfort and mental load over time.

Getting involved can help:
✅ Support physical and mental health in the workplace
✅ Reduce the risk of work-related musculoskeletal injuries
✅ Improve comfort, movement and productivity
✅ Encourage healthier habits at work and home

Spinal Health Month promotes practical, evidence-based ways to help prevent injury and support overall health.
