Researchers studied the link between smoking and back pain using data from over 438,000 people in the UK. They found that:

- Smoking increases the risk of developing back pain.
- Current smokers had a 50% higher risk of back pain compared to non-smokers.
- Former smokers also had an increased risk, but lower than current smokers.
- The more ci******es smoked per day and the longer someone smoked, the higher their back pain risk.
- Women who smoke seem to be at even greater risk than men who smoke.
- Quitting smoking or reducing how much you smoke could lower your chances of developing back pain.

The researchers suggest several reasons smoking may lead to back pain, including:
- Damage to bones and discs in the spine
- Changes in how the body perceives pain
- Mental health effects that can worsen pain

While the study can’t prove smoking directly causes back pain, it provides strong evidence of a link between the two. The findings highlight another potential health benefit of quitting smoking or never starting.

The London Marathon 2024 is finally here.
As a leading Physiotherapy clinic in West London, we have helped countless people prepare for and recover from the London Marathon over the years.

If you are lining up tomorrow - congratulations and well done. We wish you the very best.

Here are some tips to help you:

Warm-Up Right
A proper warm-up increases blood flow, activates muscles, and reduces injury risk. Perform 10-15 mins of light cardio like walking/jogging, then dynamic stretches like leg swings, walking lunges, etc. Studies show this reduces muscle strain and improves endurance.

Post-Race Recovery
The 24-48 hours after a marathon are crucial. Refuel with carbs and protein within 30 mins to replenish depleted glycogen stores and repair muscle damage. Stretch and use a foam roller to relieve tightness.
Get a sports massage 2-3 days post-race to flush out lactic acid.

Common Niggles
Knee Pain is a common complaint post marathon. See a physio if persists more than a week or 2.

Plantar Fasciitis and IT Band Syndrome: are also very common
Taking time to stretch and light strength training muscle activation are usually sufficient but contact a Physiotherapist if needed.
