BACK TO WORK, BACK TO BACK PAIN?

Going back to work or to normal life means back to old habits. Now is a good time to change little things that could improve your quality of life for the better. 
Back problems are related to your everyday routine. Keeping you back strong is the best way to avoid back pain by regular exercise, good posture and correct lifting. 
If you have recurring bouts of back pain, there are a few things to consider – lose weight as too much upper body weight can strain the lower back; wear flat shoes with cushioned soles to help reduce the pressure on your back; avoid sudden movements which can cause muscle strain; try to reduce stress, anxiety and tension which can all cause or worsen back pain; stay active – take regular exercise such as walking and swimming – an excellent way to prevent back pain. Walking and swimming strengthen the muscles that support your back without putting extra strain on it.
