Every day more and more people complain about spine problems. These problems are reflected differently on each person individually and are of a different form. They mostly depend on the lifestyle of the individual and his habits. They are expected in difficult physical activities, where it is almost impossible to avoid them. Fortunately, they are mostly short-lived and curable for the vast majority and only occasionally appear. Frequent recurrence of pain over time leads to major injuries, including disability, which is reflected in later years of life. Work under a load that lasts for years brings more and more injuries and painful conditions to the body. Therefore, it is necessary to raise awareness of the importance of physical activity and how it affects human health. There are still heavy physical activities in the world although technology has advanced, the machine cannot completely replace man. One of the more difficult activities is the military. Years of work in the military system leave consequences on human health. Due to the extensiveness of work in the military system, active persons are entitled to early retirement, which is not without reason due to many years of physical and psychological strain. Therefore, the main topic and goal of this paper are injuries and painful conditions of the spine in the army. I chose this topic mostly because of the work I am familiar with and personal experience. Every day I experience regret of pain in the spine and that is why I decided to research exactly that. At the very beginning of the work, the introductory part refers to the way of today's life and the impact of the same on health. After the introduction, exercises to strengthen the muscles that support the spine and stretching exercises were added, which are very good for injury prevention and faster recovery. Physical activity itself is very important for the general health of the body, including the spine. It is recommended to do as much physical activity as possible throughout life, especially in the younger days in order to facilitate life in the elderly. A healthy lifestyle makes the future easier for a lifetime. Respondents are military operatives regardless of gender, age, height, weight and duties they hold. The respondents were given complete anonymity and the possibility of different answers, which is shown by the results themselves. The results of the research also show how many military operatives have problems with the spine, how serious these problems are, whether they have ever sought medical help, whether they are familiar with the activities of physiotherapists and had the opportunity to express their opinion on the need for physiotherapy in the system. At the end of the paper is a personal review of the research and conclusion with recommendations for preserving the health of the spine and reducing injuries.
