Event only in German

Back problems are the most common pain disorder in Germany and almost all of us experience noticeable back pain at least once in our lives. Are prolonged sitting, obesity and signs of ageing the biggest risk factors and what part does emotional stress play? But how can I strengthen my back and what can I do when I start to feel pain?


PD Dr. Anett Reißhauer, Head of the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Charité, answers these questions in her Sunday lecture. She also describes the difference between acute and chronic back pain and emphasizes the importance of diagnostics and individual treatment approaches. She talks about the possibilities of prevention and explains what we can do even at the first signs of pain. Practical exercises will also be demonstrated. Afterwards, there will be an opportunity to ask the expert questions.
