Is Back Pain Stopping You Living Comfortably?

Back pain can range from a dull ache to sharp, shooting discomfort that affects every part of your life, from work to sport to simply relaxing at home.

Common symptoms include:

A dull ache in your lower or mid back
Sharp pain during certain movements
Intermittent twinges that come and go
Stiffness after sitting at a desk or driving
Pain when bending, lifting, or twisting
Discomfort stopping you from exercising or doing daily tasks

Every year, an estimated 35 million working days are lost to back and neck-related problems. Around 80% of the population will experience lower back pain at some point — often made worse by today’s sedentary lifestyles, laptop use, and phone/tablet posture.
