Anyone who has suffered with a bad back knows how debilitating it can be. This is what happened to me recently and I ended up having to take a week off work, which is a first for me. I had an outpouring of sympathy on social media and literally thousands of people telling me about their own bad backs. This is clearly a huge problem for many people.
Many people are living in great amounts of pain
My physiotherapist, Leslie Abrahams, (one of the best I’ve ever been to, in my opinion) agreed to sit down and talk to me for the Ageless by Glynis Barber YouTube channel. He says that back problems have got worse and are more prevalent than ever since people started working from home. We are not as active as we used to be, even if we exercise every day.
Working from home has been a disaster for our backs
Leslie talks about the causes of back pain and how best to handle it. Keeping moving is vital but, as he says, move strategically.
You can find Leslie at Bodies Under Construction
I hope you find the my talk with Leslie useful. Please do remember to subscribe to the Ageless YouTube channel while you’re there.
