Why it matters

Long hours of sitting or heavy lifting can strain the muscles and discs of the lower back.

Everyday steps

• Stand up and move every 30 to 45 minutes.
• Keep your screen at eye level and your feet flat on the floor.
• Lift with your legs and keep the load close to your body.
• Stay active with regular walking.

When to see a doctor

Seek medical advice promptly if pain spreads down your leg, or if you notice numbness, weakness, or changes in bladder or bowel control.

Talk to your doctor before starting a new exercise programme.
