Deep tissue Dunedin

Recommended Posts

I gave up trying to get a decent deep tissue massage.. Now and again my back plays up. Not much but enough to keep me from doing squats and its squats that mainly causes it..

 

First solution, deep tissue massage, but very hard to find some one who knows what they are doing.

Next method, buy one of those back invertors off trademe. $160 and I swear by them.
Great for stretching out the spine if its compressed and causing issues.. Works better than physical manipulation I think.

3rd method, buy one of those elastic back belts or even a gym belt, and wear it for a few days. If its sore muscle that's the problem then it will support the muscles and give them time to rest and heal. After 3 days Im usually good to go..


4th method, one of those foam rollers in the gym.  A decent stretch and then use the foam roller to roll over and give your back a good massage. Usually get a few good clicks out of my back and helps to make it feel great.

Not that I get a sore back often but when I do, with the above methods, Im usally right in a few days.. Hope that is of some help to you bud.

Sounds good bro thank you for your advice am prone to back injuries. All the fuckin time. I love leg raise but I hear a popping noise every time I go up. It's fucked up. No pain but

Check out this lower back routine... it's worked for me, Roger Federer, and Kobe Bryant - all athletes of similar calibre, obviously.

I'd also recommend doing some transverse abdominal work and lower ab specific work. The imbalance in strength from lower back to abs and hip flexors is often what creates these lumbar issues in weight trainers.

This was totally the case for me.

Correct posture with lower ab engagement takes practise but it becomes the new default over time.
