You don’t have a bad back, or at least it didn’t start out that way.
I know I know. Some of you have had accidents and injuries that have resulted in surgery and maybe rehab and much more.
Those examples that we’re unavoidable may speak for a “real” bad back. But just remember it doesn’t have to stay that way.
Now BACK to the convo at hand… (see what I did there lol)
At large I don’t believe people have bad backs. Overall it would seem the leading issues stem from a weak body, specifically an underdeveloped core.
This snow was heavy and wet and there was a LOT of it. I have a snow blower but I wanted to use this as an opportunity to prove my point.

Everything in our lives is designed to make life easier and with all of these magical developments comes a direct impact on our physical states.
We sit more, we slouch more, we have our heads down, we speak less, we work less and much less physically.
Cue all the acute/chronic pains. We have neck problems, back issues, shoulder soreness, knee trouble and so much more.
What I can say with 100% certainty is that we can relieve so many of these ailments from intelligent, productive physical training.
That low back pain can be caused by tight hamstrings. That poor posture can be fixed by posterior training. The knees, even the knees can be set free by building stronger quads, glutes, and hips.
We were given a beautiful clean slate as children and it was ours to take for granted. And most of us have done just that, thinking that the gym and working out is just for those vain people or those who need to loose weight which couldn’t be further from the truth.
We all need to train almost every day. I mean EVERYONE.
It’s time to take back control. It’s time to live with a higher quality of life. It’s time to run after the kids pain-free. It’s time to compete on any stage and execute just as you know you can, limited by nothing. It’s time to gain your confidence and build your life the way you dreamed of it.
And remember just because there may be an absence of sickness does not indicate a high quality of health.
