3 Reasons Why Resting Won’t Fix Your Back Pain

Think resting is the golden ticket to banishing back pain for good? Think again.

Here’s the real deal: while taking a breather might offer temporary relief, it’s not exactly a long-term solution. Here’s why:

1. Ignoring the Root Cause

Sure, resting gives your body a chance to recover, but unless you address the underlying issue—whether it’s poor form, muscle imbalances, or something else—you’re just delaying the inevitable.

2. Skipping the Fix

Resting won’t magically fix wonky movement patterns or stiff joints. If you want to kick that pain to the curb for good, you’ve gotta get to the root of the problem and start making some real changes.

3. Back to Square One

Ever notice how your pain tends to come back with a vengeance as soon as you jump back into your usual routine? That’s because resting doesn’t address the factors that caused the pain in the first place, leaving you right back where you started.

Instead of hitting pause on your workouts, let’s work together to tackle the issue head-on. Trust me, your back—and your gains—will thank you for it.
