Please see   http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now Back pain plagues many people of all ages and all walks of life and can get worse in later years. Back pain can be the result of many things including spending long hours working on computer chairs, slouching on the bed while watching TV, and sitting or sleeping in the wrong posture, knowing very well that bad posture (or the improper distribution of body weight) is one of the main causes which can trigger back pain. For those in the aging population, back pain can be a result of -Osteoporosis: Bones, including the vertebrae of the spine, become brittle and porous, increasing the chance of compression fractures.

-Spondylolisthesis: Normal wear and tear makes it hard for joints and ligaments to keep the spine in proper position, especially with age. When a vertebrae moves more than it should, it can slide forward and on top of another. When this happens, bones can press on the spinal nerves and cause lower back pain.

-Sleep disorders: Aches and pains give everyone a sleepless night every now and then, but did you know that individuals with sleep disorders are more likely to experience back pain, compared to others? According to PubMed, US National Library of of Medicine, "There is a significant relationship between pain and sleep with a 55% increase in the proportion of subjects reporting restless sleep after the onset of back pain".

-Everyday Activities or Poor Posture: “Bending awkwardly, pushing or pulling something, standing or bending for long periods, twisting the torso, coughing or sneezing often, muscle tension, overstretching, sitting in a hunched position (such as driving) for long periods - all can result in back pain”, says Dr. Supriya Bali, Max Hospitals.

    One of the best ways to alleviate back pain is to participate in daily stretches and a walking program, which should be preceded by senior balance exercises to first develop adequate stability for your fitness program.
