Back pain is the most common musculoskeletal ailment afflicting mankind today. It is the most costly ailment especially when we take into account the disability costs and medical costs.
The great cause or explanation is INACTIVITY.
When we experience back pain we often stop exercising or sport. But while it is important to rest and restrict exercise after a injury, it is still important to rehabilitate and strengthen the injury through some form of physical program.
It is important to realize that most back problems are not the result of a single injury but almost always due to a combination of factors. Namely:
Poor posture
Decline in physical fitness
Faulty body mechanics
Loss of flexibility
Stressful lifestyle and working habits
Success comes from taking the initiative to make a difference, looking after your body and building it up to cope and deal with every day stresses.
