Taking longer walks could actually improve back pain, according to a new study.
Researchers in Norway investigated how chronic low back pain, a "prevalent and costly condition," could be reduced by regular physical activity, including accessible walking.
The study, published in the journal JAMA Network Open, measured daily walking volume and walking intensity among more than 11,000 participants over the age of 20.
The participants then reported any incidences of lower back pain lasting three months or longer in the past year.
