Approximately eighty per cent of people will have back pain at some stage of their life. From astronauts to elite athletes, back pain doesn’t discriminate.

In most cases, back and neck pain can be treated without serious medical intervention, and it is rarely a sign of something more serious. If your pain does not ease, you may need to see a health professional.
