Some Causes of Back Pain in Laymans Terms. (Bad Posture)
There are many causes of back pain.In this article I will explain some of this back pain in simple laymans terms.Almost 80% of back pain is attributable to two things:Bad PostureLifting things wrongly
In this article I will cover the term "bad posture".
Bad posture can be literally translated as "bad habits". As with all bad habits these are very difficult to cure and only with the dedication of the individual concerned can you hope to resolve the cause of back pain caused by bad posture.Let's look at this from a critical point of view for a moment.What do we mean by bad posture?Ask yourself these questions?How do I walk?How do I stand?How do I sit?
All these things significantly affect the way your back behaves, and when combined with our second attributable cause of back pain, which, if you remember is "lifting things wrongly" they become highly effective as a major cause of your back pain.
Let's get back to bad posture then;Everyone is aware of the term "posture". Bad posture is, in simple terms;Sitting, standing or walking with your back in an unnatural state. (Bent or twisted).There is absolutely no reason for this if you are in reasonable health.The only reason is "bad habit", although as a side note, if, for instance you were suffering from a leg strain or something similar, this could cause you to walk, sit or stand with an unfamiliar posture which could result in your back pain.This will probably pass with the recovery from your original injury.As with all cures for bad habits the onus lies with the individual.Try to analyse your posture, or get someone else, for instance your partner or a friend, to watch you and try to analyse for you, how you are sitting, standing and walking.From these observations you should be able to work out the bad habits of your posture.The cure is always the same.Sit with your back straight and fully supported.Stand up as straight as you are able. The higher your chin is the straighter your back will be.Walk with your back straight and your toes in the straight ahead position.
Whilst I am not suggesting that you walk around with a pile of books balanced on your head, this is a good maxim to observe.
