According to studies by the World Health Organization (WHO), it is estimated that around 568 million people around the world experience back pain during the winter season.
It is important to clarify that there is no direct relationship between decreased temperatures and back pain. However, it is common that, when experiencing cold, we adopt a hunched posture that can overload the muscles and contribute to the appearance of contractures and discomfort in the back, especially in the cervical area.
