Couple Using Sex Pillow, Sex & Back Pain

There are many causes of back pain. Aches and pains in the back are primarily due to mechanical disorders, from damage to the ligaments, muscles, vertebral joints, or discs.

Back pain causes poor posture, lack of exercise, obesity, heavy lifting, pregnancy, stress, and even depression and other emotional strains. If you struggle with back pain or know someone who does, here are some useful tips on managing it.

Symptoms Of Back Pain

  • Muscle Spasms

  • Lower Back Pain

  • Stiffness

  • Pins & Needles


If you find that you are struggling with back pain and believe it to be due to an emotionally stressful event in your life or struggling with anxiety or depression, you may want to look into getting counseling to work through it. It may be just what you have needed to deal with the emotional stressors in your life and determine what the best treatment for you will be. We highly recommend starting with acupuncture based on the support of scientific studies and customer feedback.

When you have back pain having sexual experiences solo or with a partner can be challenging. We provide several helpful options through sexual products that can be helpful.

One category of our helpful sexual solutions for people with back pain is our sex pillows called Liberator Shapes.
