Scientists Discover Surprisingly Simple Method To Ease Lower Back Pain

New research has revealed that regular walking significantly extended pain-free periods for adults with low back pain, proving its effectiveness and affordability as a preventive measure.
A groundbreaking study has found that adults with a history of low back pain experienced nearly twice the duration without a recurrence when they walked regularly. Low back pain affects approximately 800 million people globally and is a leading cause of disability and reduced quality of life.

Repeated episodes of low back pain are also very common, with seven in 10 people who recover from an episode going on to have a recurrence within a year. Current best practice for back pain management and prevention suggests a combination of exercise and education. However, some forms of exercise are not accessible or affordable to many people due to their high cost, complexity, and need for supervision.
