Got Back Pain? Take a Walk

With all due respect to copyright law here’s the link to the Nat Geo article How walking can prevent lower back painhttps://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/walking-lower-back-pain-prevention-treatment

And here’s the link to The Lancet study Effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of an individualised, progressive walking and education intervention for the prevention of low back pain recurrence in Australia (WalkBack): a randomised controlled trial https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(24)00755-4/fulltext

I’ve been on and off a heating pad for a week. I finally felt good enough to back to the Y and do some resistance training which included back stretches on one of those medieval looking torture devices. I went for a short walk today and my back feels better.

Keep moving.
