Return that shit and sleep on the floor, lying on your back. I lay a few blankets on the floor just to keep warm and clean.

Elevate your legs on a stack of pillows or a chair or whatever if it bothers your back

Anyone in this thread even had doms?
Anyone in this thread even used one of these with doms?
Anyone in this thread even realise it's not a meme and helps aches?

>>36862503
it doesn't really help when you already have it...... It does reduce it if you do it after a workout tho.

>>36858670
What options are there for stuff like aches in your back anyway? I don't have access to my roller, but my lower back's been killing me the last few days, not sure what stretches really target the area.

>>36862528
stretches doesnt fix it. get a professional to check it

>>36862547
Have done, he says it's just muscular. Feels like a tightness on the left side of my lower back mainly, down to just below my hips, and hurts less after a workout, once I've warmed it up properly. Just not sure how to address it.

>>36862581
seems like an inexperienced therapist.

find a physio who have experience with lifters or experienced strength/weightlifting coach

You should also check your technique in all lifts involving loading of the spine.
find what helps the symptoms and what aggrevates it. do more of the first and less of the latter.

Also get enough sleep

>>36862672
Admittedly, I just saw my doctor to make sure it wasn't anything beyond muscular pain that would need surgery or some shit to handle, or specialised treatment of any kind, haven't seen a physio.

I will check technique though again, and mainly just lying down or prolonged standing stops the pain.

Is there anything I can actively do short of consulting with a physio? I'll make an appointment if not, but it'd be much easier if I could just handle it myself.

>>36862709
doctors often have an extremely limited experience and knowledge when it comes to pain and movement.

so definitely check with a therapist if the problem doesn't disappear.

Just do as i said. More of what relieves the pain and less of whats aggravating it.

if you sit for prolonged periods and you get pain from that then stop sitting for so long.

back pain is difficult, and i dont know what else you can do.

>>36862873
Yeah, that's true, I figured he'd know if I'd fucked something seriously though, and he didn't even think any further testing was required, so I'm pretty sure it's muscular, especially seeing as warming up helps it.

I'll make an appointment with my physio then I reckon, and try to sit less in the meantime. cheers anon.

>>36858670
I used this for my glutes for quite a while as they'd tended to get pretty tight. Helped release the tension pretty well.

Literally have no idea what you're talking about. If it's used properly it can be pretty handy to have
