Any one have something for upper back?

Nothing from me, thankful that's the one thing that doesn't hurt for me.

Been doing this one for a while not sure if you have a foam roller but this one really opens up the chest which helps the upper back. Especially for cyclists.



Also I do this one at least 3-4 times a week as part of my stretch routine. This video is one of many out there but seems to cover the version I was taught a while back. It’s for more than just your upper back but it’s all connected anyway.

Glad it seemed to help. A few days in a row makes a difference, especially as you start to dial in the moves. It took me a long time to get the proper stretch from the crossed knee move.

Yea that was an interesting one to get into. Will report back in a week or so. If I remember

Careful here. Upper back can often be a weird one. Do you know what's triggering this?

At the risk of misquoting Francis Mcdermott again, things are, you know, connected. Ankles to knees to hips to back all influence each other. And the core glues it all together.

STB mentioned doing PT and...actually, let me quote the important part:

After going to the PT, while it felt sorta dumb to do a basic wrist motion(s) / exercises with a 1lb weight, man did it work.

This is exactly what I have found. Low-to-no weight exercises have a remarkable positive effect on things sometimes. The male side of our species has a tendency to assume that if 1 pound is good, 900 pounds must be 900x as good.

Nope. Usually have lower back stuff for me, but it has been great for almost a year i think. I felt something over the last week of so, and today it's here.
