Effects of Lower Back Tension on Internal Organs:
An often-quoted statistic is that lower back pain will affect 80 percent of adults at some stage of their lives. However, most people are unaware that the pain is only one of the effects of tension locked into the lumbar spine. While body stress remains stored in the lower back, the pressure on the nerves may undermine, or disturb, the normal functioning of the areas and organs they supply. Thus, body stress may lead to digestive problems such as constipation or diarrhoea, bladder complaints, sexual problems, incontinence etc. A very common complaint is severe menstrual cramps and pain, which often cease when the lower back compression is released.
