Back pain is the most common type of pain and one of the most frequent reasons for medical consultation. According to expert estimates, 60–80% of the population will experience it over the course of their life.

Therefore, EBT Venezia decided to provide an own contribution, based on the experience gained, on this health prevention topic, which is particularly relevant also for migrant workers. In the case of migrant workers in Italy, back pain or neck pain can often be related to the type of work they perform.

EBT Venezia shared the preparation of this booklet with a Senegalese colleague, Dr. Ibrahima Ndour. This was a small valuable and enjoyable opportunity to work together with African colleagues to strengthen international health cooperation.
