If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Biomechanics are only one part of the complex picture regarding back pain. This article is full of outdated value-laden and fear-inducing language such as "spine is in an improper position", "should sit better", "stressing their backs", "think of a disk as a jelly... jelly can squirt out", "bend over properly". This sort of language has been demonstrated repeatedly to encourage avoidance behaviours and exacerbate problems. Of course, a dog has four legs, and some things with four legs are indeed dogs. Biomechanics are a part of the picture, but only part. Here's a great summary of the problem: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(18)30489-6/fulltext https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...
