In one line
80 to 90 percent of the general population will experience back pain at some point in their lifetime.
Detail
80 to 90 percent of the general population will experience back pain sometime in their lifetime. This very high prevalence is the reason back/spine safety, correct lifting mechanics, and a major emphasis on the low-back and hamstring area in flexibility work are stressed throughout the material.

Spinal Column (Vertebral Column)
A column of 33 vertebrae and 23 intervertebral discs with 4 curves that supports the trunk, protects the spinal cord, and absorbs shock.Causes of Back (Erector Spinae) Disorders
Back (ES) disorders usually result from poor posture, faulty body mechanics, loss of flexibility, decline of physical fitness, and stressful living/working conditions.Safe Lifting Mechanics
Four rules for lifting heavy objects in the weight room and at home — keep the back's natural curves, lift with the legs, hold loads close, and avoid twisting/jerking.Tight Hamstrings as a Cause of Back Problems
Tight hamstrings are a recognized cause of back problems — one reason flexibility work emphasizes the low-back and hamstring area.
