Back pain can be caused by a variety of factors, ranging from muscle strain to more serious underlying conditions. Common causes include poor posture, heavy lifting, or sudden movements that strain the muscles and ligaments in the back. Age-related changes, such as degenerative disc disease or arthritis, can also contribute to chronic pain. Where appropriate, massage and a programme of strengthening and stretching can make a huge difference to reduce pain and improve your function in daily life.
