In Kenya, our own research shows tension experienced by the working class (IT specialists, drivers, accountants, technicians, sales and marketing executives etc):
‘for every 10 people there are 9 people suffering from nerve tension along the neck, upper back and or lower back ranging from mild to very severe.’
Only 5 % of these back pains is caused by disease, congenital conditions or accidents. 95% is mechanical; it is lifestyle related.
Our health talks strive to create awareness as stated below:
- 3 minute daily stretches that can keep spine healthy
- Habits and conditions that cause strain on our spine
- Ergonomic counselling: how to sit,stand,sleep and lift
- What to do in the case of back pain or musculoskeletal stress
- What is Chiropractic Medicine and Physiotherapy
