Lower back pain is one of the leading causes of disability and loss of sick days from the workplace in the industrialised world. I like to discuss practical solutions we can use in our everyday to combat the issues we are creating for our mind and body as we live within the alien environment of the concrete jungle surrounded by chairs and technology that make us comfortable in the short term but weaker in the long term!

This episode is looking at back pain after I recently returned from a family road-trip holiday that included up to 10 hours a day sat driving. This took its toll on my lower back and got me thinking about some practical tips I can share that I use regularly and utilised after this road-trip.
