More days are missed at office due to lower back pain than any other ailment! Even though millions of years of evolution has designed our spine to do otherwise; we sit, eat, travel sitting on chairs for hours on end. Dr Vijay Vad, MD, tells us why backache is such a common health problem today, the causes and gives us some tips on how to avoid it. He also explains the anatomy of the muscles of our back and how the mind-body connection and proprioception work to maintain a healthy back. As we age, the structure and function of our spine and back muscles keep changing and it’s all the more important for us to work at maintaining the flexibility with exercise.
