It is not uncommon to hear the phrase, “My back went out!” The question is: Where did it go and when will it be back?
So says Dr. Dale Buchburger in an article on the auburn pub.com website.
He goes on to describe how between the ages of 30 and 50 our lifestyle often changes, together with a reduction in our activity levels, resulting in weight gain and a corresponding weakness of the trunk, back and hip muscles.
Key weakness areas are the hip flexors, hamstring, gluteal, and lower back muscles.
He tells us how we can test our risk of developing lower back pain ourselves at home, and what to do about it.
A very good article. To read it all go here.
