ok.
i understand that certain movements can cause back pain
in people whose backs are not adequately stretched, conditioned, etc.
what i want to know is,
in a person whose back IS in perfectly stretched and strong condition,
will these same movements
a. set the stage for later problems,
b. tend to prevent future problems, or
c. have no effect.
i am referring to motions that people with back pain should not do,
such as
bending from the waist to pick up things from the floor,
getting out of bed bent from the waist,
sitting for a long time
that sort of thing.
do they actually cause problems for people who have no back problems?
what about someone who may have had a history of back pain,
but who is currently stretching and strengthening, and having no
recent problems?
?,

I don't really know much about back problems except for having
experienced lower back pain before I bought a computer chair with arm
rests, but I know you can mess up your knees by jogging even if you've
had no pain while jogging, by wearing out cartilage, and I just read
that you could get Patellar tendonitis. It's probably best not to
stress the joints or vertebrae whether you feel pain or not, beyond
normal movement or light stretching.
