25.01.2022 If you experience chronic back pain, you're not alone. The incidence of back pain is rising, with a quarter of Australia’s non-fatal health issues caused by musculoskeletal conditions such as back pain. A study recently released by the Institute of Health and Welfare shows a 15% rise in the burden of back pain from 2003-2015. Getting early advice is the key to managing your condition and making sure your back pain doesn’t become a chronic disabling condition. It’s usually a...bout sensible advice, the right exercise and important lifestyle changes. #Loveyourspine #healthreport

24.01.2022 Yes, you’ve heard us say it before but we need to take back pain seriously! Back pain has become the second greatest burden on the health and well-being of Australians. A new study shows it’s moved up the rankings to overtake Stroke and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. Overall, the study showed our health improved from 2003-2015 but more than one-third of Australia’s disease burden is preventable through a healthier lifestyle. #Loveyourspine #backhealth

17.01.2022 Did you know back pain is second only to catching a cold when it comes to Australia’s most common illness/condition? A recent Roy Morgan survey found nearly 8 million people suffer from back pain.

We recommend starting with simple measures - keep moving, lose weight, quit smoking, and see a physio. ... #LoveYourSpine
