Having back pain or other muscle pains can be a huge hindrance on everyday activities and many are facing the challenges that it brings. A study conducted by the Global Burden of Disease in 2017 revealed that musculoskeletal conditions were one of the top contributors to disability around the world. 64 million adults said that their muscle condition impacted their daily lives and prevented them from reaching their full capabilities. Back pain alone accounts for a total of 264 million lost workdays per year - on average, each person lost 12 working days per year.
Everyday activities can lead to muscle pain and back pain. Something as simple as sitting at a desk for too long can lead to biomechanical instability, muscle tightness, and pain due to constant stress on the same muscles. However, taking simple measures, such as wearing supportive shoe insoles, can help reduce the pain and get you on your way to a better posture.
