About 75-80% of all lower-back problems can be contributed to:
A. weak back muscles
B. being too muscular
C. weak abdominal muscles
D. too shortened hamstring muscles (back of the thigh)
E. none of the above

Lower-back problems are primarily linked to weak back and abdominal muscles, which account for 75-80% of the cases. Tight or shortened hamstrings can also contribute by affecting pelvis position. While muscular strength is beneficial, excess muscle is not a primary cause of pain. ;

Lower-back problems are primarily due to weak back and abdominal muscles, accounting for about 75-80% of cases. Weakness in these muscle areas leads to inadequate support and can cause pain. Tight hamstring muscles may also contribute, but being overly muscular is not a common cause.
