Back pain or injury remains one of the most common reasons for staff absenteeism and is the leading cost of health-related economic drain. It is estimated according to the Health Innovation hub in Ireland 2023 to cost the country more than cancer and diabetes treatment combined. The economic cost is estimated to be around £2.8 billion/year in the UK, with research suggesting disability payments paid for back pain amounted to £343 million per year.
