Back Pain Relief: The Benefits of Sitting Less
Back pain is a common issue for millions of Australians, often leading to discomfort, reduced mobility, and costly treatments. However, new research suggests that reducing the amount of time spent sitting could help manage and even prevent back pain from getting worse. In this article, we explore findings from a Finnish study on the impact of sedentary behaviour on back pain.
Walking Your Way to Less Back Pain
A recent study from Macquarie University’s Spinal Pain Research Group has revealed that an individualized walking and education program can significantly reduce the recurrence of low back pain. The WalkBack trial, which involved over 700 participants, demonstrated that a progressive walking plan combined with education sessions led to longer periods without back pain and proved to be a cost-effective intervention. This accessible and low-cost approach offers a promising solution for managing and preventing low back pain, potentially easing both personal discomfort and healthcare expenses.
Time vs. Steps: What's Best for Health Targets?
Embracing an active lifestyle is a key pillar of healthy aging, but how should older Australian women track their physical activity? A study by Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women’s Hospital offers valuable insights into this question. By comparing the benefits of monitoring exercise time versus step counts, the research provides a clearer picture of what works best for health in this demographic.

Thinking of walking groups?
Social walking groups can be organized by a variety of organizations, including local parks and recreation departments, walking clubs, and online communities.
The benefits of joining a social walking group are numerous. For one, it can provide a sense of community and motivation, as you have the support and encouragement of others to help you stick to your walking routine. Walking groups can also be a great way to meet new people and make new friends, especially if you are new to an area or looking to expand your social circle.
Need help figuring out where to join a walking group? Search our website to find walking groups nearby.
In terms of structure, social walking groups can vary. Some groups may have a designated leader who plans the route and sets the pace, while others may be more informal, with participants simply showing up and walking together. Some groups may meet regularly, such as once a week, while others may be more sporadic.
