With 8 in 10 people reporting some lower back issue in their lives, and many of us taking things into our own hands to try and ease the discomfort, it's hardly surprising that physiotherapists spend so much time prescribing back exercises.
"Over the years, I've seen women unintentionally compromise their lower back health by overusing sit-ups or crunches, neglecting mobility exercises, jumping into high-intensity exercise too quickly, or using poor lifting mechanics during strength training exercises," says Vicky, a chartered physiotherapist, level 4 personal trainer, and the founder of Hybrid Health.
