Back pain

Back pain usually occurs due to weak glutes muscles. According to a research bad posture while sitting causes glutes muscles to work more than their limit. Which leads to weak gluteus minimus and gluteus maximus. This puts your lower back to work rather than leaving it on glutes muscles. Leading to intense back pain. There are many physiotherapists out there who suggest sitting as less as possible but this is not advice which you can follow. Most of our work requires sitting at a table to study or to sit in front of a computer to write a blog like I am doing right now. I rather suggest you sit in a good posture for avoiding load on your lower back. You can sit in a good posture but sitting for a longer period still present the danger of weakening your glute muscles.
