Some good info in this thread!
I've been experiencing lower back issues for around a year now, and it's taking me ages to get on top of. I'm hoping some experienced people in here can offer some advice.
The pain I have is in the region of the multifidus
I can generally squat and deadlift small amounts of weight, but when the load gets heavier, say around 60kg or more, I get direct pressure right in that spot, which can radiate down into my glutes. This will inflame that muscle and cause soreness and loss of mobility for a few days afterwards.
I've tried a lot of trigger point therapy both myself and an Osteopath with dry point needling. My glutes had trigger points everywhere, and I've mostly gotten rid of all of those by rolling on a hockey ball. My upper and middle back also had a lot of trigger points which I believe I've mostly taken care of.
I've incorporated a lot of core work into my routine, but that hasn't made any difference to the pain.
I do sit down all day, and get very tight hamstrings and hip flexors. I try to stretch a lot before a workout, but nothing has seemed to work.
Any ideas? Sorry to hijack the thread!
