Welsh Backs

"From my own experience back pain can strike at anytime - it hits me at odd moments. A quick flamboyant turn in the shower for the soap or bending down in a raspberry field to do some filming has left me feeling like my back is no longer my own!"

"I think this campaign is a great idea because not enough is known about what to do when the pain strikes. Keeping active works for me. I walk my son's dog a lot as well as swimming twice a week. I have found that these activities have definitely helped me to get rid of the problem."

Back pain is a big problem for Wales. There is a cost to individuals, which can include physical and mental ill health and unemployment, and there is a wider financial cost to the economy in Wales.
