⚡️Spinal Health Week 2026: WOMEN & BACKPAIN ⚡️
For many women, balancing work, family and caring responsibilities, back pain doesn’t just affect the body – it can add to the mental load, impacting stress, energy and overall wellbeing.
New back pain impact data reveals that 87% of Australian women experienced back pain in the past year, highlighting just how widespread this issue has become.
Among female back pain sufferers:
🧠 46% report a moderate to extreme impact on their mental health
💛 80% say their quality of life is affected, with 29% impacted often or always
⚖️ 53% say back pain adds to their mental load
🎯 21% report difficulty concentrating
These findings reinforce this year's Healthy Spine, Healthy Mind message and the importance of helping Australians understand that back pain affects more than just the body.
We got your back Perth 🙏
