Let me be honest — I used to roll my eyes at the thought of yoga fixing anything beyond a stiff neck from sleeping wrong. But after years of struggling with chronic lower back pain (thank you, desk job and zero posture awareness), yoga slowly became a non-negotiable part of my routine. And no, I’m…
If you’re a runner and you’ve been sidelined by back pain, you’re definitely not alone. I’ve been through it myself. One day I was pushing through a great 10K training session, the next I could barely stand up straight. Running, ironically, keeps us strong—but when back pain creeps in, it feels like everything starts falling…
Back pain and sports—those two things don’t exactly sound like they belong in the same sentence, right? Yet here I am, someone who loves their morning runs and weekend soccer games, navigating the very real frustration of sports-related back injuries. One wrong twist on the field or overdoing it at the gym, and boom—your lower…
It started with a jolt I wasn’t expecting. One moment I was sitting at a red light, sipping my coffee and mentally planning the day ahead, the next—bam—a car hit me from behind.

I didn’t connect the dots right away, but when my lower back started aching regularly, I finally realized posture was the silent culprit….
Back pain from a muscle strain is one of those annoying things that sneaks up on you when you least expect it. For me, it was lifting an oddly shaped box while rushing through a move. I felt that immediate twinge in my lower back and thought, “This will pass.” Spoiler alert—it didn’t. What followed…
Spondylolisthesis is one of those conditions I didn’t even know existed—until it was suddenly part of my life. It started with an odd ache in my lower back after long walks.
