Lower Back Pain When Jogging. Posted: 10-30-07 13:37pm
I am 26 years old and athletic. About a
year ago I started getting sever lower
back pains only on the left side of my
back while jogging. I never used to get
this when jogging before.
I have been told to focus on core
excersises, especially for my hips and
abs, and to focus on not landing on my
heels and to land under my hips and center
of mass rather than in front of the body.
Do you have any other advice as to how to
get rid of the pain in my lower left back?

didn't the core exercises and gait
retraining work, try some cross training
like swimming and give yourself a break
from jogging now and then

Hi there,
I know this may sound obvious, but have
you tried changing your running shoes? I
reputable running shop will help you
select the ones best for your build and
the type of running you do. And
surprisingly it's often not the most
expensive ones that are best suited for
most of us. I'm not an expert on this
kind of thing so I apologise if I've said
something that you've already thought of!
I don't do any long distance running
myself and when I do run its at a slow
pace because I'm scared of damaging myself
after my surgery, but I know small muscle
spasms in my lower back cause me pain
sometimes when I run. Maybe some massage
therapy may help too?
