New Routine = New Body Aches
Hello! Just looking for some advice. I started a new work out routine. I'd been doing a combo of Veena's warm ups plus my own stuff before poling or just in general. Did that for 6 months straight and the results were wonderful, but my body is too used to it now, so I stepped things up. So now, I'm getting quite a bit of back pain. 🙁 Almost in the middle of my spine and between the shoulders. Anyone know of any stretches or techniques I can use to just relieve this?
Appreciate any help 🙂

Sounds like your lats are sore! Those crazy things!
From what I've seen, placing a certain amount of pull on one of your arms, and allowing your body to stretch from that (though not curve) should give you a bit of a lat stretch. It's a difficult area of the body to access for stretching, but I know it can be done.
I also tend to wrap both hands around my pole at head height, and pull back through my hips, so that I'm leaning away from the pole. It seems to work for me for a back stretch!
Just between the shoulders (also lats, just another place) you can pull your arm, shoulder in neutral position, across your body. If you get it right (I do about 50% of the time) you'll feel it right where you want it!
I hope you feel better soon!

If it’s pain take a break. If it’s just sore then this foam roller exercise should help. Make sure you cross your arms to really reach the middle of the back. https://www.studioveena.com/lessons/view/4efc8e72-b3a0-49fa-bea0-3d490ac37250

I just started on upper body = shoulders, back, arms today. Couple hours later the soreness was setting in and I immediately had to lay down. I'm pretty sure I didn't overextended or anything. It's just new to my body to focus so much attention to those spots. So, a break will he had tomorrow 🙂
I did use a form roller actually. Just didn't know to cross my arms. So I'll do that.
