Back and neck tension are identified as widespread issues often resulting from sedentary lifestyles, poor posture, stress, and psychological factors. While back pain is a major cause of global disability, many cases are non-specific and stem from muscle strain rather than structural spinal issues.

Management strategies focus on both physical relief and strengthening. Massage therapies, including deep tissue and trigger point techniques, are used to improve circulation and loosen muscles. For long-term relief, movement-based approaches like Pilates are recommended to strengthen core muscles and improve spinal mobility.
