Episode Details

Back pain affects millions of people across the UK. But a new study suggests running may be able to help chronic lower back back pain. It comes off the back of some previous research showing that running doesn’t seem to harm the back and may actually be good for spine health.

Running physio Tom Goom discusses these studies and offers some general advice for any runners currently suffering from back pain.

The NHS has lots of advice on back pain and its possible causes: nhs.uk/conditions/back-pain/
