Lower Back Pain

People often come to me with lower back pain.

There are many causes of lower back pain.

Let me list a few. I have named the causes by the scenarios.

• I Sit all Day for My Job
• I drive a car/truck/bus for my job
• I was bending over and something happened
• I just started back at the gym. I think I lifted something too heavy
• I mowed my lawn on the weekend – all two acres of it.

You get the scenarios?

I Sit all Day for My Job

Sitting at a desk for long periods then getting up and moving, can make an aching back worse. It also changes your back posture.

I drive a car/truck/bus for my job

Driving long hours, concentrating on the road and being a safe driver. You sit for long periods, then add the stress of avoiding accidents or poor driving conditions. The adrenalin released from the stress helps to make your muscles rigid. This causes some aches. Your body gets stiff and sore and it seems to pool in your back.

I was bending over and something happened

Bending over and suddenly a twinge happens – it happens to us all at some point. Getting clothes out of the washing basket, lifting a child, you see the picture.

I just started back at the gym. I think I lifted something too heavy

I love going to the gym. I  feel great when I lift something heavy. Except for that time I lifted and then I felt something move and it wasn’t the weights. Ouch.

I mowed my lawn on the weekend – all two acres of it.

Yard work involves lifting heavy things that we are unaccustomed to doing regularly. That weekend task just got harder didn’t it? Oh wow, that whipper snipper gets heavy after a while!
