The natural reaction for someone suffering from back pain is to move as little as possible. There is a certain logic in this idea. After all, if moving around makes the pain worse, laying down or sitting still must be the best course. But, it turns out that the smartest thing you can do is keep moving. No one is suggesting a game of tackle football. But something as basic as a slow walk or some light stretching can help. The more you use the spasmodic and painful muscles, the sooner you recover. So, next time you have an aching back, get up and get moving. You will bring that old cliche to life: Pain is weakness leaving the body.
