title: [The back in everyday life].
abstract: The adaptation of man to an erect posture is the result of phylogenetic as well as ontogenetic evolution of the spinal structures and is largely responsible for the development of back pain. Apart from the specific conditions of overwork, a large number of physical activities and certain postures maintained over long periods of time can favour the development of back pain. The prevention of benign back pain therefore depends on a re-education of the correct use of the back. This can be performed in the form of individual prevention or in small groups of subjects suffering from back pain in whom a high risk activity can be isolated in order to direct the re-education. Primary prevention can also be considered in subjects not presenting back pain, consisting of a better knowledge of the back and its correct use.
