PHYSIO TIP | Avoid wearing high heels if you suffer from low back pain. Wearing heels changes the way your back moves by tilting the pelvis forwards. While not popular advice, ditching the heels at least most of the time, is one of the simplest fixes for anyone with back pain.
Our physios see many clients who think that bending their back is bad, and will CAUSE their back pain. We shouldn't discount the importance of lumbar flexion, and the harm that NEVER bending our back will do. The spine was designed to bend, we shouldn’t fear it!
