Are you suffering back pain? Could you be fit and unhealthy? Fit and healthy are two words that seem to just go together. It isn’t always the case.
Physical exercise is a very important part of a healthy lifestyle, but it is possible to get it wrong.
You may train with weights to improve your strength, but have poor flexibility. You may be very flexible but have poor balance and stability. Both these situations are injuries waiting to happen.
Some people know they should exercise but find that every attempt results in back pain or injury. If this is you, it may be that you’re trying the wrong type of exercise.

More commonly and more seriously, this back pain could indicate an underlying biomechanical problem.
Tessa Henville, chiropractor at Wellness on Wellington said a ‘catch-22’ situation can occur.
“We know a sedentary lifestyle increases the risk of back pain so we try to improve our health and fitness by working out,” she said.
“With an underlying problem, we risk injury resulting in chronic back pain – the very problem we are trying prevent.”
In fact, we can be unaware of a long standing back injury without experiencing painful symptoms.
Professional attention is required. A visit to your chiropractor is an excellent place to start.
