Lee Go-eun: Back pain relief

About 80% of people experience back pain at least once in their lives, and 7–10% suffer from chronic back pain. It often begins with aging, poor posture, repetitive work, or leisure activities, then becomes chronic when it is not addressed properly. Once back pain is chronic, one or two treatments will not make it go away. Injections, Korean chuna manual therapy, or hands-on physical therapy at different clinics may help only temporarily; if poor habits and movements continue, the pain returns. Lasting relief requires steady personal effort to ease the pain and maintain improvement. For more than ten years, rehabilitation medicine specialist Dr. Go-eun Lee has told patients, “To help your back, avoid bad postures and movements instead of adding more things to do.” Exercises and other activities that take time and money to reduce pain can actually make the back worse. It is important to avoid harmful postures and movements, build good posture, and strengthen the true core muscles that protect the back. Drawing on extensive clinical experience, Dr. Lee explains the everyday back-pain management advice she cannot fully cover in the clinic: how to avoid poor posture and movement, develop good posture, strengthen core muscles, and ultimately get free of persistent back pain, in clear instructions anyone can understand and follow.
