bit of a bad habit that means you slouch when you’re watching TV?

4) Maybe you’re the one person in the house that is left to do all the housework, who is always cleaning the floor and picking things up after the kids or grandkids, or you spend time in the garden attending to its needs and constantly stressing your back whilst doing it?

Rarely does the reason for back pain, ever get more complex than anything you’ve just read above.
