Chronic low back pain can actually change the muscles that support your spine! 💪
A study of over 200 people found that prolonged inactivity can make back pain last longer. When we move less, fat can build up in a deep spine-supporting muscle called the multifidus. When this muscle isn’t working correctly, your spine gets less support, making pain harder to resolve.
That’s why staying active and restoring deep muscle function is key to long-term back health. 🏃♂️
