The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) is giving out FREE, expert advice from a national hot line on Thursday, Feb. 15.

During hot line hours, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST, physical therapists will be available to answer callers' questions about injury prevention, exercise and ways to prevent back pain. The toll-free number is 1-877-633-3278.

Back pain is a common complaint among middle-aged Americans as they deal with hectic daily schedules, increasingly demanding jobs, and caring for children, grandchildren and aging parents.

In the meantime you can try using a bolster or mixing your own at home remedy.
