Tight hamstrings / lower back pain

If you’re interested in learning more about low back pain and how it can be caused and how it can be treated, I highly recommend the book “Back Mechanic” by Stuart McGill. Mcgill is a world renowned expert in low back disorders who has produced over 240 peer-reviewed scientific journal papers, as well as several textbooks. Among other things, “Back Mechanic” gives you steps to help you find out what might be causing your pain, whether it’s a specific spine posture, particular movements, or a certain type of load or stress. He then talks about ways you can remove your pain triggers through different postures and movements. By removing the pain triggers, this will hopefully allow whatever is causing your pain to heal.
