Questions and Answers

Q: In your experience, what is the most common cause of back injuries or problems?

With few exceptions, most back disorders are the accumulation of months or even years of poor posture, faulty body mechanics, stressful living and working habits, loss of flexibility and a general lack of physical fitness. In fact, by middle age, almost everyone has felt some form of back pain. Further, statistics show that a person who had had a backache is ten times more likely to have another one. That's why for most people, the key for managing back problems is a treatment program that includes a healthy dose of general fitness conditioning as well as a practical, effective education program to prevent re-injury.
