【A】Back pain is a common health problem which affects 80 percent of us at some time in our lives.
It affects general wellbeing, prevents people from working, and even causes people to become
depressed.
You could be forgiven for thinking that lower back pain is a curse of our modern lifestyle. Many
in the West blame our sedentary habits. But back pain is something that people around the world
seem to suffer from, whether they spend all day sitting at a desk or working in the fields.
Scientists believe that back pain comes from our being bipedal: walking upright on two feet. So,
unless you go in for regular posture training or have a resistant physique, you will suffer from back
pain at some point. What to do about it? You can look into exercise classes that help to build core
muscle strength, but they are mainly a preventive measure. Some countries have developed cures,
like Madagascar, where Baobab tree bark is used. But mostly treatment consists of months of
