Poor posture is one of the main causes of back pain. Poor posture develops due to muscle imbalances and weaknesses for example, Lumbar lordosis, where an exaggerated arch in the lower back can be seen is usually due to tight hip flexors and weak hamstrings. By releasing the hip flexors through stretching and sports massage, then strengthening the hamstrings with the correct exercise spinal alignment will be achieved and relieve back pain.

Different postures have different imbalances but with the correct exercise and treatment plan these imbalances can be addressed and fixed to relieve back pain long term.
