80% of all people suffer from pain in the back at least once at some stage during their life.
Back pain is therefore one of the main reasons for a visit to the family doctor. Not only the person with back pain suffers, but also those in his immediate surroundings.
Back pain can be divided into specific and a-specific back complaints. A hernia is an example of the most occurring specific complaint. Examples of a-specific complaints are lumbago, blockage and all kinds of damage to the lumbar disc.
The most important causes for back pain are:
- long periods of sitting
- hereditary factors
- stress
- psychological and physical complaints
- lack of exercise and smoking
Often it is a combination of these.
Research showes that backpain is experienced most during sitting. When people are walking or cycling they experience a reduction of the pain. Therefor ErgoDynamics ads the movement from cycling (rotation) to a number of practical solutions.
