How do you handle back pain?

[chineebai]

I felt like that before, a real massage worked it right out.

Stretch or strengthen your hamstrings depending if they are weak or overworked and under stretched, strengthening your lower abs kegel exercises too


But it could be subluxations or understandable pelvis so i wouldn’t know exactly what to recommend unless i saw you personally

How do you know if they are weak or overworked and under stretched?

 

[Mowgli]

You better start working out the rest of your life. Legs Core

yikes.

Get a inversion table.

Might have to look into that. Dude I work with tried his dad's and he said it's the truth.

Get one of these

Deep Tissue Muscle Massager Gun

Get the one that I linked because even though a newer one is listed as being available, it's the exact same model just more expensive

Now when I wake up, I have zero back tension whereas it used to be the worst part of my morning routine

Amazon had a promo for $50 off when you dropped this link. Copped that shyt

Strengthening your core is usually the answer. But that usually means doing ab exercises that hurt your back.

what a cruel existence

I think you're gonna love it. Probably the best gadget I've ever purchased imo. Me and my wife have been using it multiple times a day ever since I copped it

Works great on every part of your body and not just your back too

It's basically and electric meat tenderizer

You can do it yourself or have someone run it for you. I can reach most of the areas of my back fairly easily on my own. I also like using it to loosen up my leg muscles before going on bike rides, and to then using it to relax them when I get home. Feels great on the feet too.

I actually prefer running at a higher speeds, but with a gentler pressure these days.

I made a thread about back pain before but do these exercises in this video



I used to have major back pain to the point that I thought that I wouldn't be able to workout ever again. Once I started these movements my back felt brand new and stronger. Trust me kn this, I have some of my clients doing this and they are walking better than ever

facts. This definitely helps. But if I miss ONE day the pain comes back like

 

[Mr Hate Coffee]

It may be weak but if he’s tore scar tissue or actually thrown the vertebral body off it’s normal position core won’t help, and usually that’s the least of the issues

 

[SadimirPutin]

back pain could be for a number of different reasons...you have to be as specific as possible

I've had back pain since the end of January. It's a herniated disc. I just started physical therapy they told me 6-12 weeks until it gets better this bullshyt is really gonna fukk up half my year

My back has been hurting, I was thinking I had a herniated disc but he says no, that it’s muscle related most likely.. it’s just an annoying discomfort…. Are u pain free?

Yes I've been pain free for close to a year. Sometimes I'll have a day or 2 of pain but mostly discomfort on days where its acting up.

 

[P90]

I’m similar situation. Injured SI joint and mostly minor discomfort but maybe once every other year I tweak it and pain flares.
