I'm glad you've got my back. I have bouts of back pain once every so often. When I was a teen, I was into martial arts and got thrown in a match. I landed on my back instead of my side. Since then, I'm more prone to back pain.
It's as though something 'clicks' and then I'm bedridden for at least a week.
I need orthotics in my shoes to ensure correct posture is maintained. When I don't wear the orthotics, it's easier for something to happen to my back.
Back exercises are helpful, but I don't tend to remember to do them unless I'm in severe pain!
Hence this thread is helpful because you can remind me to do the exercises as we all only have one back!
