Sore Back

Like with any injury rest is essential which is very frustrating for somebody who exercises regularly. I have just recovered from a back injury where I pulled my rhomboid muscle only to have injured my wrist a few days later.

 

the use of ice is recommended as it will help ease the soreness and slight swellings

 

hat about sore upperback and neck?

 

stretch, stretch, stretch.

 

how do you stretch your lats?

thanks

 

Amy's right; stretching really helps my own lower back. It's important to remember to stretch after the workout too, not just before. In fact, I'd say it's more important afterward. Stretching "cold" muscles before a workout can strain them if you don't take it real easy.

 

you should do dynamic stretches before working out and static stretches after

 

you peeps have the ability to break an anvil.

if the body part/muscles are sore, why would you want to stretch stretch stretch? using basic common sense one would want to avoid any thing to this area that might aggravate it further

what you really mean is rest rest rest

 

.............If the body part in question is actually hurt, then sure. Eventualy, though, you're gonna get back into it. That's where the stretching comes in.


..........Unless of course you actually plan on resting for the rest of your life.

 

usually the reason injurys occur in the first place is because we don't properly stretch.

 

look if you re read the simple question? you will notice that the poster did not inquire about after the injury is healed, nor did the poster inquire about pre exercise situations. school is a wonderful thing when applied correctly
