Can you imagine training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu without suffering from nagging back pain afterward? In this episode, we uncover the secrets to understanding and managing back discomfort, even when there is no significant structural damage. By breaking down the physical demands of guard retention, we reveal how activities like pulling your knees to your chest and prolonged sitting can lead to tightened hip flexors and subsequent lower back pain. With this knowledge, you can better address and alleviate the discomfort that comes with your BJJ practice.
JT and Joey unlock the secrets to fixing your back pain caused by the sport we care so deeply for.
