Imbalances of the large skeletal muscle groups is fundamental of human back trouble. It takes years to develop and will only come to light when you try to assume an anatomically perfect posture.
Back block decompressing the spine which is the same as pulling the segments apart is the cornerstone of all. Vertical compression is the root cause of most developmental spinal problems.
"Rest" is not the answer for arthritis. The less you move, the less you can move, more the joints dry out and quicker they break down.
The great advantage of living piece of machinery called the skeleton is that the more it moves the better it moves, the joints respond and increase their self-lubrication.
Prematurely old joints are too tight for their own good and intolerant to shock. It is simply normal aging process of joints, wear and tear.
I believe the majority of back pain can be controlled by increasing the efficiency of the core muscles of the body and by stretching the hamstring and associated muscles.
