5 Mistakes That Can Make Back Discomfort Feel Worse (and What to Do Instead)

by

Back discomfort isn’t just about the aches themselves. It has a way of creeping into daily life—making it harder to enjoy a walk, concentrate at work, or even relax at home. For many, the frustration isn’t just the physical feeling, but the way it quietly steals moments of comfort, independence, and confidence.

The truth is, back pain is one of the most common complaints people experience. Yet, while it’s widespread, it’s also often misunderstood. Many well-meaning habits, routines, and choices can actually make it worse without us realising.

This blog explores five common mistakes that can intensify back discomfort, why they matter, and simple alternatives that may help you take back a sense of control.

Back Pain in Autumn: How to Stay Comfortable and Enjoy the Season

by

Autumn has a special way of shifting the rhythm of life. The days become shorter, the mornings arrive cooler, and the leaves start to fall in their golden tones. For many, it’s a favourite season – long walks in the crisp air, weekends in the garden, or simply enjoying the cosiness that comes as the year winds down.

But for those living with back discomfort, autumn can also feel like a hurdle. The cooler weather often highlights stiffness, and the demands of the season – raking leaves, carrying shopping for hearty meals, or spending longer periods indoors – can place extra strain on the body.

It can be disheartening when the season you’d like to embrace instead reminds you of your limits. Yet, autumn also brings an opportunity. It’s a time to pause, reset routines, and take intentional steps that can support both comfort and movement.

In this blog, we’ll explore why back pain often feels worse in autumn, practical tips for managing it, and ways to keep enjoying the season without letting discomfort hold you back.
