Why is my back so stiff?

[lePoivre]

I workout and stretch almost everyday and normally that keeps my back from feeling sore or stiff, but lately it's been feeling like I haven't been working out at all. It feels kind of like I've been spending too much time with my bed even though I've actually been lacking quality time with it lately 😅 Any suggestions as to what it may be or what I can do to fix it?

if its stiff it may be your muscles, which is weird because you stretch casually. just take a break, if it gets worse then try seeing if your spine needs some adjustment, your muscles might be pulling on it which is causing that stiff feeling, but ultimately that means you need to let the muscle of that area heal if that is the case.

Hmm, maybe. I am going to get a massage with my boyfriend next week so we'll see if that helps too.

that should do the trick, let them tenderize any tight muscles you have and loosen those knots lol

Usually when you spend a lot of time in bed, your back straighten out at the same position and spot for hours, it'll stiff up when you get out of bed. You can just slowly stretch them, and then try to touch your toes. Yoga usually do the trick.

You may just be tired if you haven't been sleeping too much and your back has just strained because of that and is just achey. Have a nice long soak in the tub and get some rest.

Maybe I should do that. Thanks =)

Try to take a bath or something to get that area warm. You could buy a lacrosse ball and then lay on it and focus on the right spots and that should help. I do that all the time on my legs and I do it on my upper back and shoulders with the ball against the wall

If someone is sleep deprived, people's backs tend to be more stiff. Using a tennis ball or a baseball against your back against the wall, is a way to massage your back muscles.
