How can I increase flexibility AND mobility in my hamstrings without irritating the back problems? Child pose twerking leg lifts?
Where else do I have decreased mobility that might be contributing to problems either specific or systemic? What can I do to address these?
Would an inversion table help with long-term health?




Lower back strength & control... I seem to have a pair of muscles on either side of the L5 (I think). (Maybe this is the overstretched psoas muscle? Regardless it seems that it tilts my pelvis toward the anterior.) It takes extreme focus and some luck for me to get the muscles to activate at all although it seems that after I manage to activate them it remains somewhat simpler for a time. It seems that back pain is significantly decreased as long as those muscles are activating consistently. It also seems as though the right muscle activates more easily and more strongly than the left though I don't have a tremendous amount of data on this fact.

As it is I have been spending an extended period of time each morning attempting to get the muscles to activate each morning. If I rush it it seems that I experience significantly decreased functionality through the day.




As I consider all the times I've had a flare-up (for lack of a better term) I find that either I can't identify a particular moment or it begins when I twist my shoulders and back to the left in relation to my hips.
