Alright heres my problem...when working and being active sometimes i get lower back problems...and when i got my school physical (not of very good quality) the trainer said im lucky if i dont have lower back problems (i said i didnt because its not usual) well during spring training for football i got some pain...and im only 15 and stuff...

well anyways she did say i had low hamsstring flex and low shoulder flex and one of them would cause the back problem

im pretty sure it was shoulder..how can i work on this to reduce possibly get rid of this pain

kthx
 
just a quick response:
often times when assessing a client or athlete, I find that, second to weak abs, tioght hamstrings are a major cause of low back pain.
The muscles of the hamstring cross the hip joint and if they are tight, can throw the pelvis and LB out of whack!
 
stretching the hamstrings:
sit at the front edge of a chair. Extend one leg out straight, with your toes pointing up (foot flexed). Other leg is bent with foot on floor for support. Keeping good posture (head and chest up), lean forward as if you were trying to touch your chest to your foot. Lean until you feel a gentle stretch in the back of your straight leg. Hold for about 30 seconds. Repeat 3 or 4 times. Make sure to do both legs. Repeat this at least 2 times a week.
