Long-term and repeated excessive lumbar movement and excessive load, such as sitting or standing for a long time, or holding heavy objects or lifting objects from a bent over position to an upright position, can keep the lumbar muscles in a state of high tension for a long time, which can lead to chronic lumbar muscle strain over time.

Chronic lumbar muscle strain is also related to climate and environmental conditions. Too low temperature or too high humidity can trigger or aggravate lumbar muscle strain.
