January in the UK is a month of physical contraction. When we step outside into the biting North West wind, our bodies perform a reflex known as “huddling.” We hike our shoulders toward our ears, round our mid-backs, and tuck our pelvises under to preserve core heat.
At Chadwick’s Physiotherapy, we call the third week of January “The Great Rebound.” This is when the initial adrenaline of a New Year’s resolution fades, replaced by a sharp, nagging, or radiating pain in the lower back. If you are currently sitting with a heat pad on your lumbar spine, wondering where it all went wrong, let’s be clear: you haven’t failed. You’ve simply encountered a biological mismatch between your ambition and your current physical capacity.
Back pain is one of the most common health complaints among adults in Formby, Liverpool and beyond. Whether it’s a dull ache after a long day at work, a sharp spasm during movement, or a persistent stiffness that limits your daily activities – back pain can quickly become more than just a nuisance. It can affect your ability to work, sleep, exercise, and enjoy the simple things in life.
In this blog, we’re going to explore how daily habits, posture, movement, and even stress can affect your back. And most importantly, we’ll look at realistic, meaningful ways to regain comfort and control in your body – without relying on painkillers, injections, or endless “rest.”
