Lifting is an inevitable part of a typical day. Lifting, picking up and carrying are just a few tasks that require a person's back to be in good shape. The most common cause of low back problems comes from stretching muscles, tendons and ligaments leading to inflammation, swelling and pain. The key to minimizing back pain is prevention.
