The Ready State: Mobility Training with Dr. Kelly Starrett › Forums › Back › Aching Back After Hip Mobilization, Hamstring Stretch
Hi, every time I perform the following mobilization technique the next day or 2 my lower back feels achy and stiff. Specifically wrapping the band around the hip and extending and contracting the knee back and forth like the video shows starting at 10:00:
https://youtu.be/lxA0UD9D3AY?t=605
I focus on making sure my lower back is not rounding and keeping good posture throughout the head, neck, shoulders, and back.
I have a couple theories but wanted some help to see if I can correct what I am doing wrong. Some of my ideas:
– Too much too soon, I am pretty tight all over so I try to follow all of the advice on the youtube channel. For this movement I do 20 cycles back and forth on each side. I can’t touch the floor while doing it so I fold over about half way to keep good posture
– An imbalance between glutes, hamstrings, and the front of my abdominal region. I am lengthening my hamstrings but maybe this is throwing off the balance between the tension placed on the pelvis between hamstrings and abdominal.
The last time I had this issue I did a bunch of gut smashing the next day and the aches and tightness got better but did not go away completely. I am not sure if the gut smashing helped or if the aches and tightness went away due to the couple days rest
Some info about my issues that may shed some light are that I have excessive arch in my back and my ribs protrude forward when I stand and I am not conscious about my posture. I also have rounded shoulders and my head tilts forward.
Any insight on what is causing my issue or what I am doing wrong is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
