I'm one of those with lower back problems though I've spent my childhood, adolescent and early adulthood playing basketball. I've also have other medical issues. Given that I've got friends that have never moved a finger, I've concluded that it is all about the genes and all the rest do for fun and personal taste.

Once the issue starts, it is not easy to escape from. Chronic pain is like that and has a cascading and recursive effect through psychology and how your brain tries to protect pain.

East healthy because it is tastier and more reasonable. Exercise because you like it and you can have fun and because moving around is reasonable. All the rest is chance to not have an injury that can trigger a vicious cycle and genes.

Some people are just lucky and some not.
