TODAY'S HEALTH Exercise and good posture by David Woods An estimated .400,000 people in Ontario have some form of back 'trouble. And a great deal of it, say family physicians and orthopedic surgeons who deal most with the problem, is entirely pyeventable; in the case of so-called low back pain, perhaps as much as -80 per cent. " In a nutshell, the way to ,prevent backache 'is to be kind to your 'spine; to support it in the manner to which it ought to be accustomed — certainly as faithfully as it sup- ports you. That means developing good — though not necessarily military- style — posture, and avoiding put , ting too much strain on your back. The strain factor, for the- most part, means weight — both your own poundage, and objects you might lift without due regard for spinal engineering. Let's take your own weight. One of the most common causes of low back pain is obesity. Too much flab, and especially 'a pot belly, can pull the spine forward in an accentuated arch. Getting. back in shape gets your back in shape, too. Manual workers, sportsmen, gar- deners, housewives and others who engage in sudden, sharp movement that twists and strains the spine are especially susceptible to low back pain. People who lie on over-soft mattresses are also prone — so to speak — to back troubles. How about lifting? The correct way, say the experts, is to bend the legs and not the back. If you lift by stooping over with arms extended the weight of the object lifted is multiplied many times in terms of pressure exerted on the spinal col- umn . . which may cause damage and pain. Whatever the cause of back prob- lems — posture, overweight, sudden strain, or even, quite frequently, high-heeled shoes that can bring about spine arching—the result can often he painful and aggravating. • -. In many cases a useful therapy is swimming. because the water sup- ports body weight while all joints, including those in the back, are exercised. Not all low hack pain is spinal in origin. It might be caused by kid- neys or other organs. If it persists you should get your family physician to check out the reason and devise an appropriate course of treatment. Remember though, back pain is a common affliction — and also one of the most easily, avoidable. So don't be a backbreaker. Instead, give your back a break.'
