Question for anyone who knows a thing or two about backs.

Re: Question for anyone who knows a thing or two about backs.

I can speak from experience since I've had back pain for the last 12 years.

From my back pain its rarely ever the direct spot that's the problem but another muscle group that's really tight that's connected to that area. So for shoulder blades you have to stretch your traps/chest/neck and shoulders a lot.

Example for mostly why people have lower back problems is due to tight hip flexors and weak glutes. Work on stretching and strengthen your glutes your lower back pain starts going away.

Also use a foam roller to help massage the areas but you gotta start stretching. I've been going through back pain since high school and really the only thing that's helped me is stretching and yoga. Massage/chiropractor have been good as temporary solutions but I got rid of my back pain just recently being flexible and doing yoga for the past couple months and its almost completely gone.

I get sore and get pains still from my workouts but its no longer a lingering problem.

I still get massages every once awhile and use my foam roller daily so the combination of that and stretching have been amazing. For upper back stretches just look up youtube vids, there's a ton of them you can watch to help you get started.

For my lower back, when I was in high school, my family doctor said I had lower back spasms from football so I just always assumed it was still that, but it's started feeling a lot worse than that. Until I go to this chiropractor tomorrow, I'll just assume it has something to do with scoliosis.

It feels compressed.

I don't want to get too much further into it because then I'll just go into other pains that I have daily and I don't want people to feel like I'm just complaining about it, haha.

Yeah I've had lower back pain from football too. Try stretching your hip flexors daily when you get up in the morning and go to bed. A lot of times the hips get really tight because a lot of us sit down a good majority of the day and that gets your hips tight.

I been going threw pain like you did too. Had plantar facitis on both feet, lower and upper back pain from football and a car accident, rotator cuff tear, hip sprain and a broken ankle in the last 12 years and have constantly been in pain until just this last year.

Get serious into stretching, its made a world of difference for me and being pain free.

Here's a few you can try for your lower back.

3 stretches, hold for 30 seconds each side and repeat
