back pain
Woop. Well I have hurt my back slightly when I was stretching yesterday, I think I just overstretched which was stupid of me. I was doing a split with my right leg forward and then later on in the evening my lower back started to hurt. My question, fitness buffs, is this : Should I stretch today?? And should I pole/exercise? I obviously don’t wanna make it worse but its not really bad or anything, just mildly annoying, a little ache like how your arms feel the day after a good pole workout, but I’ve never experienced this in my lower back before which leads me to believe it was the stretching. Do you think it would be okay to do some mild exercise/stretching? I feel bad when I have a day off from exercise. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_bounce.gif

i’m no expert- but I do consider myself a fitness buff and I do experience back pain, lower and upper, from time to time as a result of my activities. I would suggest to take a break for a day. Next day- take it easy. If you have intense pain- see a doctor. I go to a chiropractor which I love. Whenever I hurt my back slightly, that night, I try to sleep on my back with no pillow (kinda like that yoga pose, savasana or corpse pose). If the pain is bad but not bad enough in my opinion to seek a professional opinion, I take an anti-inflammatory (motrin). Usually, my pain will subside in 2 or 3 days.
