I stopped running myself for a while because my back hurt when I did. Until I found out what was wrong and went full speed into fixIng it with expert
help.
To this day I still do the exercises, as I realised how inflexible my upper back and shoulder were. Ridding my body of pain levelled up my energy levels too!
A body in pain KNOWS something is wrong and it is telling us it needs help and
attention
Our nervous system is infinitely more intelligent than us, so to think we can fix everything with a pill, plaster or brace is naive.
A body in pain is moving inefficiently, balanced incorrectly or lacking strength in muscles needed to keep moving well
It can be a long process of trial and error to discover what is really wrong and come up with a protocol to fix.
OR, it could just be a quick foam roll or stretch that you can do everyday that will perform a miracle.
You don't know until you try!
No one has all the answers, and it always depends on many variables, yet there are
some incredible experts out there who's 'best guess' could be the answer you are looking for.
Go find them!
