A study by Macquarie University has discovered that adults with a history of low back pain can significantly extend the periods between pain recurrences by engaging in regular walking. The research involved 701 adults who participated in a walking program, showing a median delay of 208 days before experiencing pain again, compared to 112 days for those not in the program.
