It is a very common misconception that, if one has back pain, then they should stay off their feet. In fact, it was not uncommon for doctors to prescribe “two weeks of bed rest” for victims of back pain before the advancements of modern medicine.  Now we know that inactivity actually propels back pain and weakness because, when the body is not working, it is not making muscle.

The victim of back pain needs to exercise or partake in physical therapy in order to condition the muscles and make them stronger.
