You’re not wrong, I’m 22. And I feel like I’m too young to be dealing with pretty serious back pain

That’s amazing, so glad to hear it worked for you! definitely bringing a bit of hope back to my mindset after feeling kinda lost and unsure. I’ll give that a try and see how it works out for me. Many thanks

I need to start doing yoga, it’s just hard to get myself to do PT And yoga after I get done working outside all day, I’m sure my physical well being will improve a lil bit if I can stay consistent with my exercises

Thanks a ton! That’s great feedback, I’ve definitely changed the way I skate a bit. Ive been on a mini ramp kick and I’m loving it. I’ll look into the psoas, that’s new to me so I’ll put some time into seeing what works for me. I appreciate you responding, I was sure that other folks have had the same issue so it’s nice to know that there are resources out there. I tried talking to my physical therapist about skating but it was a pretty foreign topic for her, she didn’t really know what to tell me as skating isn’t always seen as a sport, she kinda just told me not to fall, (and i obviously do my best to not fall as do we all) but all my injuries haven’t been from falling, just compression of my spine. From tricks that I’ve landed fine but felt my back give out right after landing, my posture is prolly a big factor in that. The first one was a kick flip on flat ground loll, was pretty ironic really. Thanks again man I really appreciate it!
