Hello
Low back pain in young is quite common nowadays.
It’s because of bad posture and long sitting hours.
This cause you disc in your back to loose its normal texture of being soft to hard and to break also known as desiccation.

Daily walking.
And office ergonomics.
This small small things will have a larger impact on your back
