Sore Back After Training? Here's 5 Exercises You Can Try

To be honest with you, backs are complicated.

Backs are probably the most complicated error-message to try and solve with combat sports athletes.

Over the years, I have developed a library or exercises to turn to, once I have assessed an athlete and have a better idea of what is going on.

More often than not, back issues stem from one or more of the following;

Weak midsection strength (abdominal complex, lower erector spinae, poor bracing mechanics)
Tight hips (limited hip internal rotation, external rotation, flexion, and extension)
Limited adduction mobility and adductor strength
Limited abduction mobility and abductor strength
Limited Thoracic extension capability
Limited Thoracic rotation capability

Here are just 5 of the many exercises I will use to combat the notorious sore back after training.

Let me know which ones work for you!
