I'm 77 years old and fractured my back four years ago falling out of an inversion table, so I'm very familiar with on going back pain. I shoot with an R5 and find that the RF 24-105mm, RF 24-240mm, RF 100-400mm are fantastic light weight lenses. (Read Ken Rockwell's Reviews of these lenses) I have no problem carrying them around all day, even the 100-400mm with a 2X Extender. A great lightweight set-up. Yes, there are lighter but I would question, better, set-ups. I must admit here that I recently sold my RF 100-400mm and purchased the bigger heavier RF 100-500mm and don't even find it to be very burdensome. I was out shooting for 4 hours with them Monday with no problem. There R5 with the RF 24-240mm, the RF 100-400mm and a 2X Extender are a super team. The EOS RP is an incredible super light weight alternative to the R5.

That is a very nice choice indeed! I’m really liking the features on the OM-1 especially with the high res hand hold option. My spine sends mixed messages to my fingers and sometimes they work and sometimes they quiver. I love handholding my camera over using the tripod too. Good luck with your new gear, I hope to see some pics!!
Given your situation I think you’ve made a wise anf fruitful choice. My physical issue is different (acute calcific arthritis) that attacked shoulders, wrists and hips. Having used Nikon F mount gear for over 50 years it was a difficult thing to do but I’ve largely switched to Oly gear for most of the time.
I went even smaller and went with the PenF and two pro lenses, the 7/14 and 12/40. What a pleasant surprise. I was told the rig would be unbalanced. I now disagree with that assessment. All works fine.
I hope you find your choice of Oly as great as I have. Image quality is superb in my view. Good luck.
