Many people might not think about the mechanics of back pain, but researching it could help decipher more helpful treatments. A recent collaboration with the Balgrist University Hospital and University of Pittsburgh is starting to decode the mechanics of the lower back to find out exactly what creates the pain.

They will try to solve the questions about whether back pain is caused by walking upright, or if our problem is with sitting down, and also other factors such as lack of exercise, and stress.
