Lots of people have low back pain that comes on when they have to stand for any length of time – maybe in a queue, on the bus or shopping.

One of the reasons low back pain may come on when you are standing still is because the muscles get tired or have a slight reduction in blood flow. This is a suggested cause but it’s more likely that there is no specific cause for the pain coming on. This is the case with most episodes of back pain.<\/p>\n
Your pain standing will be worse if you are tired, stressed or not enjoying what you are doing. If you are having a bad day with pain think about what else is happening and how you are feeling. Improving your mood or relieving stress may be a great help for your back pain.<\/p>\n
When you are experiencing low back pain standing try to relax your back, allow it to bend forwards and backwards and side to side. Try shifting your weight from one foot to the other. Remember there is nothing damaged in your back, you are simply standing you can’t have caused any harm. Try not to hold yourself stiff and tense your low back.\u00a0 A change of posture and movement are often helpful. Sitting down for a short-time may give you some relief or taking a walk often relieves pain.<\/p>\n
The best way to improve low back pain that comes on when you are standing is to exercise regularly to strengthen your back.<\/p>\n
