Hi Back Builders,
I have various back pain that comes and goes, and I've decided to prevent this from now on by starting a RYB routine. I've been doing the RYB basic exercises for a couple of weeks now, and I'm confused about the results.
Whenever I do the knee-ups (or similar stretches such as forward bends or the "child's pose" in yoga), I feel very sore in my lower back and left buttock. The aching feels a bit good during the stretching, like the muscle really wanted it, but then the area aches for the rest of the day. Although the soreness is left of center, I only feel it when I pull up both knees, not either one individually. I did have some pain in this area recently (before I started the exercises).
Can anyone tell me what's going on? Is this soreness something I need to just work through or do I need to make some modification? It doesn't seem to be getting better.
Thanks for any help!
