7 Dos and don'ts
Be careful how far you bend
Don't let 'fear-avoidance behaviour' stop you getting better
Get your bone density checked
The leg press machine can damage your low back
Work on increasing core stabiliby endurance, not strength
Avoid lifting in the first hour after waking
Power walking is good for bad backs
If you have a bad back, don't do sit-ups
Try walking with a backpack for low back pain
Learn to belly breathe
Avoid sitting on your wallet
Get worked on, even when you feel good
Everything in moderation
If seeing multiple practitioners, take the team approach
Always find out your diagnosis
Don't sleep on your stomach
Pack your running shoes
Move it or lose it!
Micro-breaks
If it hurts, don't do it!
Try going barefoot
Train smarter, not harder!
Too much bed rest can make your back worse
Always check your medications for side effects
Keep a copy of your medical history
Good technique reduces injury
Drink more water
