"If you get back pain it's not because;
You haven't seen a physio or chiro or 'insert health practitioner
Because you have bad posture - postures get sensitised when your back is upset, there is no ‘ideal’ posture, everyone has an individual posture - there is no link between posture and the likelihood of having pain in the future
Because you bend your spine when you bend forward to pick up your keys – your spine is designed to bend, in fact, avoidance of bending it may be far more of an issue than trying to keep it straight all the time, any motion is lotion!
Because you have a weak core - this is one of the biggest old wives tales we have going, there is not one muscle more important than any other when it comes to back pain, just do exercises you enjoy and gradually increase the load or volume and you'll continue to have a very strong spine.
Because your scan showed you had a disc bulge - disc bulges are normal and are present in people without pain. In fact, by the age of 40 if you don't have one you're the outlier"
