People were able to bone up on taking care of their back at an open day in Bath.
Around 60 people dropped into an information day held by the Oldfield Osteopathic Clinic at Green Park Station to find out what they could do to limit the risk of back pain.
A range of therapists were available to answer questions, while Chris Cook, a Bath Rugby academy player, and Danielle Goodman, who represented Great Britain in the triathlon, spoke to shoppers about their experiences with pain.
The event was held to mark Back Awareness Week, and osteopath at the Oldfield Park clinic Dave Inman said: "Back pain can really affect a person's life and make it hard to do simple, everyday tasks."
It is estimated that four out of five adults will experience back pain at some point in their lives.
The British Osteopathic Association found that simply changing the way you sit or being more aware of your posture could reduce the risks of back pain in later life.
