ＶＡＬＵＥ ＰＯＳＴ! Have you ever experienced the dred of 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗣𝗮𝗶𝗻?!

As people are working from home more since the start of COVID-19, we have seen an increased number of patients presenting with low back pain. Why? There are several factors that could lead to the cause of lower back pain, some might include:
• Age
• Poor physical fitness
• Weight
• Endless hours at a desk
• Poor setup of your workstation

Back pain does not necessarily mean that there is a pathological cause. A more recent and common cause of back pain is the result of modern human lifestyle, which has led humans to be more sedentary and deconditioned. The muscles in our back are there to support the spine and if our muscles are weak, we can begin to experience pain. So, get moving!
