You slept okay. You didn’t fall or lift anything weird.
And yet — there it is again.
That dull ache in your lower back. That stiffness in your neck. That moment you realise it even hurts just to sit still.
So… what’s going on?
The truth is, most back pain doesn’t come from one big event.
It’s usually the result of small, everyday habits that slowly build up until your body finally says: enough.
Desk Jobs = Poor Posture
Let’s face it: most of us aren’t sitting in ergonomic thrones with perfect posture all day.
We’re hunched over laptops, leaning into Zoom calls, slouching through spreadsheets.
Over time, this compresses your spine, tightens your hips, and weakens your core — the perfect recipe for back pain.
Tech Neck is Real
All that scrolling, texting, and binge-watching adds up.
💡 Did you know your head weighs around 5kg?
When you tilt it forward, the strain on your neck skyrockets.
That stiffness between your shoulder blades?
That’s your body begging for a break.
Parent Life = Constant Bending and Lifting
Parenthood is basically a full-time gym workout (without the cool-down stretch).
Chasing toddlers, lugging car seats, bending into cots… and let’s be honest, no one is doing perfect-form squats every time they pick up a toy.
Stress = Physical Tension
Your mind and body are deeply connected.
When stress hits, your muscles brace — especially in the neck, shoulders, and lower back.
Even if you’re sitting still, stress can make your body feel like it’s run a marathon.
