Stop sitting and stretch those hips, my friend. Especially the hip flexors (top, front of thigh). We were designed to be mobile. Motion is lotion. (As mentioned above ... http://www.mobilitywod.com/ is a terrific resource) |
While this is 100% true, I think we're beyond that point. The tendons and ligaments in our backs are pretty incredible when it comes to supporting such things as a herniated disk, so much so that people don't even realize that something is wrong. If the OP has chronic back pain, there is something really wrong. If a xray and MRI didn't show anything, my guess is soft tissue damage.
Does it hurt if you apply pressure to certain areas?
