Lower back pain sits at the base of the spine, between the lowest ribs and the tailbone. For some people it flares up just once; for others it returns again and again.
It usually develops from overloading the back: lifting too quickly or too heavily, or making an awkward movement. Sustained strain also overworks the back muscles, and many people tense them without realising, often through poor sitting posture. The precise cause of lumbago is frequently hard to pin down.
