I never thought I’d become someone who relies on an app to manage my back pain, but here we are. After years of trying heat packs, foam rollers, posture correctors, and even weekly physio visits, I finally realized that consistency and tracking were the missing puzzle pieces. That’s when I dove into the world of…
It starts out slow—maybe a dull ache, maybe some morning stiffness. Then out of nowhere, bam: it flares up like someone lit a fire along your spine. That’s how inflammatory back pain often gets you. If you’ve been there, I totally get it. My lower back used to hijack my mornings, especially after sitting too…
You know, for the longest time, I thought all back pain was created equal. If my lower back was aching or sending some strange signals down my leg, I’d just blame it on bad posture or maybe that one awkward twist I did in yoga. But it turns out, there’s an important difference between what…

But after a few more episodes, I started digging deeper—and that’s when I stumbled upon something unexpected: the spine. It sounds…
If you’ve ever felt that dull, persistent ache creeping up your neck after hours at the computer—or that tightness between your shoulder blades that seems impossible to shake—you’re not alone. I’ve been there myself. As someone who works long hours hunched over a screen, I used to think it was just “normal tension.” It wasn’t….
It was around my late 30s when my back started whispering complaints—quiet twinges while sitting, subtle stiffness when standing up too fast. I thought I was just out of shape, maybe sitting wrong.
