Here's a basic vid on how to get into the position
Do you have any thoughts on cold vs hot showers?
I have been going to a physiotherapist and doing a lot of exercises while maintaining my back posture as shown in that video. After a while, I started getting serious knots in my back.
The physiotherapist said to take hot showers after workouts. There is a lot of talk here and elsewhere about cold showers so I used to do that. Would it be okay if I just did contrast showers?
Hey nomansland,
While contrast showers do help with reducing DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) and heat can help with muscle spasm, they won't address the cause of the problems.
When you say 'knots' what exactly do you mean? Do you mean tight muscles, aches, pain in between the shoulder blade or lower back?
After what specific exercises do you experience the knots?
What stretches are you performing for the thoracic/middle back area?
If you're not growing, you're dying.
