64% of us now have back problems after WFH, so here's how to get your back health back on track

Rule number one - don't just ignore it

If that niggle becomes more than just that, it may be time to rest and apply some heat to the area to soothe the pain. A good trick is to alternate between hot and cold compresses - the heat will ease muscle spasms, while cold therapies are said to be beneficial for nerve pain.

Remember, nothing should feel painful - so start small. If you're attending an exercise class, always tell your instructor about your back pain, so they can adapt any movements that might aggravate it. Cardiovascular exercise is also great for back pain, as it gets the body moving and increases blood flow to the muscles. Low impact activities such as cycling or brisk walking are best.If your back pain is causing you significant discomfort, such as trouble sleeping or getting on with daily activities, it might be time to let your GP know, or get in touch with a physio.

Back pain might be very common, but it can be very debilitating, too - and it doesn't have to be that way.
