Participants in a walking program for back pain were pain-free for almost twice as long as the control group, with fewer activity-limiting pain occurrences and longer periods before recurrence.
Walking's benefits for back pain may come from gentle movements, loading and strengthening spinal structures, muscle relaxation, stress relief, and endorphin release.
Lower back pain is a costly condition in the U.S., with walking offering a cost-effective solution to reduce the financial impact by decreasing doctor visits.
