Mind Your Backs: The new normal

In 2020, the way that we live our lives completely changed, and our bodies have suffered because of it. We are spending more time sitting than ever before and moving our bodies significantly less. Many of us are noticing new problems in our bodies that weren't there before and wondering why they've happened and what we can do about them. The truth is that everything in the body is connected, from head to toe, inside and out, and including your mind, meaning the problem is not always where you feel the pain. The human body, and particularly the spine, is amazingly unique compared to other animals in that we all stand upright on two legs, through millions of years of evolution. However, despite how important to the human body the spine is, many of us experience back problems at some stage in our lives. In fact, back pain is the single leading cause of disability in the UK! Knowledge of how the body works should not be exclusive to doctors and health professionals, so Dr. David Harvey DC, MChiro breaks down the mechanics of human anatomy so that you can be in control of your health along with the experts.
