Low back pain is one of the main causes of disability worldwide, it can cause limitations in daily life, in work and it is associated with high social and financial burdens for individuals, their families and for the wider economy. Working conditions can impact positively and negatively on low back pain – for example low job satisfaction, highly sedentary roles or roles involving repetitive strenuous tasks may have a negative impact on low back pain. Working adults 55+ years employed in these roles may face additional challenges to managing their low back pain and information, guidance and support may be required.
