Studies show that 80% of our population experience low back pain at some point in their adult lives. Whether this pain is caused by an injury, sitting hunched over a computer for hours on end, or from stress, if you fall into this category you know how unbearable this condition can be. There has always been a plethora of anecdotal evidence for techniques to palliate your pain, but recently a focus on evidence based care has pushed for scientific studies to support our choices. Very recently a study supporting yoga as an effective means to cope with chronic low back pain was released; below Dennis discusses a study supporting massage. Whatever treatment type is right for you, the evidence is saying movement is the key. So get your body moving and feel your aches and pains melt away.
Yours In Health,
