Back Care Awareness Week 2016

3rd-8th October is Back Care Awareness Week and this year the campaign focuses on Caring for Carers.

Carers are often exposed to higher than usual levels of physical and emotional stress, which puts their own health at risk. The national charity Back Pain is working to help raise awareness of the issues they face and provides useful guidance about the effects stresses and strains can have on health. You can find more information about Back Care Awareness Week at www.backcare.org.uk.

This year we’ll be helping the campaign by sharing some useful tips about back pain prevention plus we’ll be talking directly to carer organisations about health care.
