sore back

my back has been hurting ever since this morning when i went running. do you know how to help it?
2 other girls on my team had the same thing happen to them and they said they flipped their mattress upside down, does that work?
i think it started hurting b/c last night my sister tried to stretch out my back. anyways, any advice would be appreciated

Leaning forward causes back pain, improper form. Other than that I don't know massage,ice etc.

ice will probably help, but i dont really know. I havent had really bad back pain before. hope you feel better!

You can stretch your back by sitting down on the ground, then putting one foot over your other legs knee, and using your upright knee as a lever against which you can push your arm and stretch your back.

Meh, it will go away.

ive had problems in my lower back the last couple of days. i run w/ my chest out which might affect it. so pay attention to your form.

Yup, and you should probably do some extra stretching. Sometimes a piriformis strain can manifest with back pain, especially if you're not adequately warming up/cooling down.

It'll probably clear up with icing and stretching, but if not, you might want to get checked out by a chiropractor to make sure everything's in alignment and such. If you've dropped a hip or whatever, you'll want to get it corrected.

don't let your sister stretch you again lol.

Fix ur form and I had the same problem before and flipping my matress actually did help me.

i've always had really bad back pain i sleep with a pillow inbetween my legs lol i read it in a running times article. It kinda helps but my back just hurts im sort of used to it i guess.

is that a good magazine?

i used to get RW, but then i realized it was for slow people, so i got T&F News(costs a lot) but it doesn't have any advice.

how's RT?

yeahh i like RT its a lot better than RW. we used to get that but it was just dumb i thought.
