Presentation Title:

Posture, Power, and Pain: The Female Back Story

Abstract

Back pain is a common health concern among women, affecting daily activities, overall well-being, and quality of life. Factors such as posture, hormonal fluctuations, lifestyle habits, and aging contribute to varying degrees of discomfort, making it essential to understand the causes and solutions. Whether stemming from muscular strain, spinal conditions, or systemic health issues, back pain in women requires attention to both preventive measures and effective treatment strategies. The impact of chronic or acute back pain extends beyond physical discomfort—it influences mobility, mental health, and productivity, often leading to limitations in work, social life, and self-care routines. Women experience unique challenges due to conditions like osteoporosis, pregnancy-related strain, and postural changes, making a gender-specific approach to pain management crucial. Raising awareness about women’s back pain empowers individuals to seek appropriate care and adopt proactive solutions. By prioritizing spinal health and promoting accessible treatment options, healthcare professionals and individuals alike can work toward alleviating pain and enhancing mobility, allowing women to maintain active and fulfilling lifestyles.
