i’ve never heard of back pain being genetic. since you are still young it is important for you to take care of your back. you shouldn’t sit at a chair for over a hr without getting up to stretch and walk around for a few minutes. this may sound strange now, but believe me once you get older you will get lower back pains. as a matter of fact, i get them now. doing yoga is also great for your body overall. it will do wonders for your body if you do it your entire life.
