Abstract
Work-related Musculoskeletal pain has, therefore, significant health and socio-economic effects[1].In many countries, Physical Inactivity PIA is one of the main causes of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD) such as Occupational Musculoskeletal Diseases (OMSDs)[2]. Worldwide, OMSDs continue to be the leading cause of work-related disabilities’.
Those are caused by various types of work-related diseases[3]. The office employees are at risk for physical inactivity (PIA) 2-3, they usually suffer from nonfatal occupational injuries, illnesses and Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs). It has been argued that office employees are exposed to dangerous of MSDs without receiving necessary cares that in turn leading to increased OMSDs especially in developing and underdeveloped countries[4]. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the great majority of workplace unhealthy posture
are preventable and prevention is the key item that should be addressed to decrease OMSDs[5]. In other hand, OSHA suggested that ergonomic programs are essential for health improvement of health care workers. Ergonomic interventions could assist to reduce MSDs[6]. Given the importance of OMSDs that companied by bio psycho social complications , multifaceted and multidimensional educational packages are much more likely to beeffective than any other monodisciplinary particular intervention[5]. even though public health experts in different countries showed that occupational health (OH) practice can vary amongst different nations[7]. The competencies required of OMSDs practitioners have been the subject of peer-reviewed research in different countries around the world[8].
Significantly reducing the unhealthy behaviors regarding is not easy, also it may not be easy, and it is going to not occur and manifest overnight, but progress is truly viable. Therefore, let us, in our respective areas of obligation, set clear occupational safety and health goals, set up a road map and maximum seriously, act and persevere, so that, together, we succeed in turning the behaviors that is outbreak and make good educational progress on this dimension of these challenges of Health[9].
Office employers could engage with proper interventions to promote healthy behavior. Education in ergonomic concepts with Low Back Pain (LBP), show that observing ergonomic principles may decrease the incidence of LBP in office employers[10].
However, an interventional approach was needed to develop intervention strategies that are specifically designed for office employers [11]. This method entailed accomplishing systematic literature search and semi-based interviews with workplace employers. Based on these semi-structured interviews, an assessment of the need for a logical model to help for identifying behavioral influencing factors for OMSDs[12]. The environmental factors that may contribute to OMSDs among health worker may cause disability and static work that could highlight social needs and norms in the workplace.
According to previous studies, personal characteristics such as knowledge and skills regarding ergonomic principals and low motivation for healthy workplace improvement could affection health workers’ behaviors. In addition to individual determinants affecting the environment of health workers, personal norms that were taken from the social environment and sources like time and money are needed to decrease OMSDs[13-15].

Abstract
According to the statute of the World Health Organization (WHO), health is considered as an individual and social value, and one of the most obvious human rights and needs. The carriage of heavy schoolbags by children is a concern for all those involved in student health and well-being. Backpacks are the most commonly used type of bag, and overweight backpacks are associated with several health issues, including increased spinal curvature, discomfort, and back and shoulder pain while the majority of students were carrying as much as 30% to 40% of their body weight. In this way posture modifications have been reported when children carry a load that corresponds to more than 10% of their body .
In addition Items carried by students in their daily school bags have been found to include, but are not limited to books, pencil cases, scientific calculators, and sport-specific training clothing, lunch boxes and full water bottles. Even an empty backpack can distort posture and cause pain. There is no way to safely carry weight in a backpack, no matter how light the load, because it disrupts our body mechanics by design .

Abstract
Chronic MusculoSkeletal Disorders (MSD) affects about 20% of adults, yielding significant functional, professional and mood disabilities, resulting in surprising economic burden annually worldwide . Low Back Pain (LBP) and chronic cervical pain are the most common and catastrophic ones leading in disability and work absenteeism . Despite wide coverage of researches and literature regarding chronic MSD pain and developing evidence-based guidelines to help patients and physicians , the high proportion of such patients suggests shortage of present strategies. Studies showed neglected acute pains could cause neuroplasticity processes in Central Nerve System (CNS) which stimulate pain centers without stimulants leading to chronic pain that is difficult to manage . Therefore, prevention of pain chronicity might have large effects in terms of patients’ quality of life and costs for health care system. We need to know: factors influencing pain chronicity, recognizing tools to detect these factors and using strategies to target factors for further changes.

Abstract
One of the main problems of the health system in the word is the increasing prevalence of chronic pain and failure to manage it. Although many studies have been conducted on the management of this type of pain around the world, specialties related to pain and research centers of chronic pain as well as scientific centers have been established in universities, various treatment and caring models have been presented subsequently, but chronic pain continues ias a difficult health problem to be treated and lies on the face of the policy makers and custodians of health system as a multifaceted puzzle

Abstract
Social media, known as the “participative Internet”[1] encompass a broad set of Internet-based communications, tools, aids, and work through several mechanisms. Social media can provide a channel for social support and facilitate a sense of connectedness among individuals. These online tools let users share information that is consumer-centric and consumercontrolled, enabling anonymity or personal connection as preferred, and can be an inexpensive way to reach large audiences over great distances [2]. Research now shows that some online communications are effective at improving knowledge and understanding of specific health topics. As well, social media can successfully encourage health improvement and behavior change [2]. Some approaches appear to be more effective than others in addressing shortor long-term goals. Evidence about social media’s impact on health knowledge, behavior, and outcomes shows these instruments can be effective in meeting individual and population health needs. One of the issues that social media has been successful at is non-specific Low Back Pain (LBP) [3-5]. Low back pain is a common cause of disability and is ranked as the most burdensome health condition globally [6,7]. Self-management, including components on increased knowledge, monitoring of symptoms, and physical activity, are consistently recommended in clinical guidelines as costeffective strategies for LBP management and there is increasing interest in the potential role of social media intervention. With the advancement of science and technology, education by traditional approach is a challenging way to provide information. It is recognized that traditional healthcare models have failed to significantly reduce care-seeking and costs associated with treatment. Conventionally, clinical management of LBP relies on face-to-face interactions between the healthcare provider and the patient. However, this approach is not affordable or accessible to a large number of individuals, particularly those living in remote locations. Social media is a tool for teaching about LBP that not only is accessible and well-received by participants but also has positive impacts on scores of knowledge and competency. Although some face-to-face orgroup session interventions to increase patient empowerment have been effective, but real opportunities for patient empowerment formed with the rise of the Internet and social media. The social media approach is more successful than the inperson intervention over the long term and might be a better way to present a program due to its ease of access and decreased implementation costs. The advantages of social media can mention access to education without time limitation, access to education without space limitation, remember and repeat the content, share information, access to a lot of educational content, low cost of education and use content over time. Therefore, the interventions for LBP (ie, patient education, behavior therapy, and exercise programs) could be delivered through one of the types of social media. Today, the number of Internet users has increased considerably, and the Internet is being employed more frequently to locate information on health and health care delivery. Social media such as telehealth, mobile-web, e-Health, etc. is a potential approach to deliver interventions for LBP patients aimed at improving individuals’ health status by providing education and services, reducing healthcare costs, and overcoming geographic barriers. Social media is an effective approach to reduce low back pain in a long time. As well, using the website where participants could access self-tailored strategies through their smartphones, is excellent and applicable. Therefore, a growing number of interventions aimed at patient empowerment are, not surprisingly, to be presented online.
