Back problems are due to a lot of issues that we all put our bodies through. What I have noticed is that Kayak Paddling has vastly improved my core and has helped to relieve the pains I use to have. If you are paddling correctly and your seat is adjusted to provide the right support you should notice improvement in the feeling. My first kayaks had the paper thin seats and I use to feel that in the rear but now I have a very well cushioned seat and not leg numbness, no butt pain, and back feels great.

Now when you're loading and unloading you need to remember good lifting techniques as well. If you're not lifting correctly that can cause more issues. I learned that if you need help loading or unloading your kayak, ask for assistance, someone will help you. If you're alone figure out a safe way to load and unload that will not cause injury. I snapped my bicep tendon loading my kayak into my truck about 3 years ago. Had I asked for help that would not have happened.
