According to an article in the German magazine "Freundin", back pain may be due to wrong seating position and psychological tension and lack of movement. The article suggested several steps to remedy those pains, and a number of practical tips on dealing with the causes, such as how to sit properly and how to address psychological tension and the sports practices used to get rid of muscle strain.

The magazine said that sitting long periods with a hard back could lead to muscle injury, which is the most common cause of back pain without pathological cause. It said that the most effective treatment in this case is to sit properly to avoid back problems.

For this purpose, the upper body should always be upright, with shoulders slightly pulled back and chin to the throat to lengthen the neck, taking into account changing position every twenty minutes to relieve the burden of muscles and exercise relaxation activities constantly.

Another cause of back pain is the stress caused by life and work tensions, which affects the physical state and causes back pain. When the muscles are stretched, not relaxed, they begin to stiffen, resulting in pain.

There are plenty of weapons to fight stress, including time management, exercise, muscle relaxation or breathing exercises.

The lack of movement also causes muscle weakness, which in turn leads to back pain. Otherwise strong muscles will have muscular tension, so movement should be maintained to get rid of muscle strain. Sports that are useful for back muscles, include biking, canoeing and walking with a stick.
