Understanding Back Pain
Back pain is often misunderstood and can arise from various activities, mainly involving prolonged sitting or incorrect movements. Common sources of back pain include flexion intolerance, where bending or rounding the back exacerbates discomfort. Effective management requires identifying activities causing the pain and reducing those specific actions while focusing on strengthening the back through opposite movements, such as extensions. By recognizing the cause and implementing corrective exercises, individuals can alleviate back pain and improve their overall quality of life.
