Back Pain Prevention 101
Melissa Williams, Writer, Owner Yoga Junction
 Whether you’ve strained a muscle in your back or have aches and pains from aging, back pain can put a big damper in your day and your life.
Women tend to have more back issues, from carrying extra weight (purses, bags, children..) But you don’t have to take your back pain lying down.
Muscle strains, stiffness or soreness in the back is usually caused by any repetitive movement, which also includes the movement, or lack thereof, of sitting in one spot for too long. Computer = repetative beahvior.
Tight hamstrings can also attribute to low back pain, that's a back pain 101 fact.
If you fall into this category, know this: A recent report shows that individuals who practiced yoga for 3 months showed less back pain and a greater improvement in function than those receiving either medication or physical therapy alone.
To many of us yoginis, this is no surprise!
