Back And Leg Pain Muscle

Are you one of those people who always seem to suffer with lower back pain (LBP)? If you are, then you are one of many. It is estimated that 8 of 10 people suffer with LBP at some stage in their lives, costing the United States $50 billion each year (American Chiropractic Association).

The problem with LBP is that there are so many different factors to consider when diagnosing the primary cause, from muscle strains to disc problems. One factor, however, plagues a large percentage of gym goers the most.

Muscle imbalances can cause havoc on your body's tendons and ligaments, leading to impingements and inefficient biomechanics. The problem tends to arise due to some muscles being trained more than others, though lack of stretching also contributes a great deal.
