Stretching, foam rolling, a new pillow, a new mattress. Still a lower back that aches by 4pm every day. Sound familiar?
Ask a women’s health clinician about that back and the first question will be about your bladder, because the two are connected (slide 3, your back is the fall guy for a weak floor) and almost nobody checks.
Slide 4 is the Australian research that should be on every GP’s wall. Slide 6 is the two questions to ask yourself tonight.
Save this and send it to the friend whose back goes every time she lifts the car seat.
