47% of French employees suffer from chronic work-related back pain. Among high-risk occupations: 73%. It is the leading cause of occupational incapacity in France.

Mechanisms: prolonged sitting/standing, repeated bending, lifting loads, lack of breaks, absence of prevention.

Pain Areas: Lower back pain (L4-L5, L5-S1)  

Prolonged sitting compresses the lumbar discs (L4-L5, L5-S1). The discs undergo constant asymmetrical compression. The paravertebral muscles remain contracted. Chronic fatigue that creates reactions on points that radiate in the form of pains.
