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!
