Hi...., You may be able to avoid back pain or prevent its recurrence by improving your physical condition and learning and practicing proper body mechanics....
Stand smart. Maintain a neutral pelvic position.... Good posture can reduce the stress on back muscles.... Maintain a healthy weight. Being overweight strains back muscles. If you're overweight, trimming down can prevent back pain....
