I'm personally convinced that the cause of back problems is sitting way to much.

That’s one aspect of it but the main cause is weakness of the lower back muscles. This is in the case of office workers, if you have a manual job the causes could be many. But all of the causes can be addressed to a certain degree with deadlifts to strengthen to lower back muscles. But people don’t want to lift weights so 🤷🏽‍♂️

It’s not just load back. People have to strengthen their core, chest, and upper back.

All those muscles work together to help with good posture.
