Why does back pain need an academy?A bad back can interfere with every aspect of life. Many of our clients and patients often said to us that our appointments are very informative and that they wished that they were taught the simple and effective techniques back when they were in school. Here are some key facts about low back pain from the World Health Organization. In 2020, low back pain (LBP) affected 619 million people globally and it is estimated that the number of cases will increase to 843 million cases by 2050, driven largely by population expansion and ageing (1). LBP is the single leading cause of disability worldwide and the condition for which the greatest number of people may benefit from rehabilitation. LBP can be experienced at any age, and most people experience LBP at least once in their life. Prevalence increases with age up to 80 years, while the highest number of LBP cases occurs at the age of 50–55 years. LBP is more prevalent in women (2). Non-specific LBP is the most common presentation of LBP (about 90% of cases). An estimated 619 million people live with LBP and it is the leading cause of disability worldwide. LBP is a major public health issue. LBP is often associated with loss of work productivity and thus produces huge economic burden on individuals and on societies.
