subject: You Can End Your Back Pain [print this page] Back pain is a cruel, dibilitating condition that millions suffer from. There are, however, some fairly easy steps you can take that will help end your back pain.

Move around more. A recent study reveale that walkings briskly for three hours each week can be more effective in relieving your back pain that doing specific exercises for your back.
