  2. Skating requires some pressure on your core to keep your body up, and
  3. some of the more extreme movements can affect these core muscles in
  4. particular. If your back hurts from skating, it’s important to know why
  5. you’re suffering the pain, how serious it is and what you should do
  6. about it…What should I do about back pain from skating? If you are new
  7. to skating and suffering back pain it may be that you have not
  8. developed the core muscles to stabilise your spine in the skating
  9. position, or your back is too straight when skating. Fixing your form
  10. can help. If you are more advanced, it may come from extreme overuse,
  11. and a core exercise and stretching regime may be helpful.&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a name=&#39;more&#39;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;BLOG_video_class&quot; height=&quot;312&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/FVwpmTZsI0c&quot; width=&quot;482&quot; youtube-src-id=&quot;FVwpmTZsI0c&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Let’s dive into the possible causes and some suggested treatment for
  12. some types of back pain from skating, depending on your skating
  13. proficiency and symptoms. &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;This is not medical advice and if you are suffering back pain you should seek the advice of a medical professional&lt;/span&gt;. It’s always better to be safe than sorry. But hopefully the below is some useful information. &lt;/p&gt;
  14.  
  15.  
  16.  
  17. &lt;h2&gt;Why Do I Have Back Pain From Skating And What Can I Do About It?&lt;/h2&gt;
  18.  
  19.  
  20.  
  21. &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Between 5 – 10% of all athletic injuries are related to the lumbar
  22. (lower) spine, often because the athlete isn’t stabilising their spine
  23. thanks to insufficiently developed core muscles. Alternatively, it can
  24. be because of extreme stress on core muscles either from prolonged use,
  25. or sudden movements. &lt;/p&gt;
  26.  
  27.  
  28.  
  29. &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you are new to skating there’s a chance your form is not perfect&lt;/b&gt;.
  30. Some people skate with a straight back (because often you are taught to
  31. do exercises like that, as with deadlifts), rather than a slightly
  32. arched back. You can improve this form by allowing a slight forward
  33. arch, but also ensuring you engage your core muscles to support you. Try
  34. holding in your stomach in a tensed position, and keeping your knees
  35. well bent. &lt;/p&gt;
  36.  
  37.  
  38.  
  39. &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;There’s also a chance &lt;b&gt;as a new skater your core muscles are not developed enough&lt;/b&gt;
  40. in which case exercises like the plank, the superman, or crunches,
  41. might be beneficial to build those muscles. It’s also possible this will
  42. just build through your skating as well. If you do experience continued pain you should not take it
  43. for granted it’s one of these reasons though, and you should consult a medical
  44. professional to help. &lt;/p&gt;
  45.  
  46.  
  47.  
  48. &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you are a more advanced skater, it’s possible it’s for the
  49. same core muscle reasons and that the solution could be an exercise
  50. programme&lt;/b&gt; to help build your core so that your spine is kept
  51. stabilised when you skate.Speed skaters on a track (travelling in a
  52. counter-clockwise direction) often report &lt;a aria-label=&quot;left-sided symptoms (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3317439/&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;left-sided symptoms&lt;/a&gt;,
  53. possibly explained by the athlete leaning on that side placing greater
  54. forces on the hips and sacroiliac joint (SI) on that side. In these
  55. cases, as long as the pain is not associated with an inflammatory
  56. process due to overuse (rather than joint hypomobility), &lt;a aria-label=&quot;self-mobilisation (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;http://scottsevinsky.com/pt/reference/spine/lumbar/spine_tva_si_mechanics_lbp_relationships.pdf&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;self-mobilisation&lt;/a&gt; procedures may help. &lt;b&gt;Maintaining muscle flexibility and strength is important&lt;/b&gt;, as is &lt;b&gt;retraining functional coordination between multiple muscle groups&lt;/b&gt;.
  57. For example, with individually targeted lumbo-pelvic stabilisation
  58. exercises, proprioceptive training, and inline skating training
  59. activities. &lt;/p&gt;
  60.  
  61.  
  62.  
  63. &lt;h2&gt;What If My Back Pain Is Something More Serious?&lt;/h2&gt;
  64.  
  65.  
  66.  
  67.  
  68.  
  69.  
  70.  
  71. &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The guidance above refers to the cases where you’ve put extra stress
  72. on the muscles causing a back strain (which it probably is in the
  73. majority of cases). This may be addressed by &lt;b&gt;changing your form&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;reducing the duration and intensity&lt;/b&gt; of the activity, or &lt;b&gt;building your core muscles&lt;/b&gt;, and &lt;b&gt;balancing them out&lt;/b&gt; through stretches. However, back pain could also be from: &lt;b&gt;Stress fracture&lt;/b&gt;: these can occur typically from
  74. overuse or hyperextension when you’re turning, or if you’re twisting
  75. particularly aggressively. More common among regular skaters who twist
  76. their bodies in different ways. &lt;b&gt;Disc fracture&lt;/b&gt;: this might come from faling. So if
  77. you slip and land on your back or your bum your spinal discs can take
  78. the brunt of the force. &lt;b&gt;Another serious cause unidentified&lt;/b&gt;: the body is an
  79. interesting system and pain that seems muscular in origin may not be.
  80. This is why it’s very important to consult a medical professional who
  81. can look at all your symptoms and give you a personal diagnosis. Do not
  82. rely on the internet to replace this. &lt;/p&gt;
  83.  
  84.  
  85.  
  86. &lt;p&gt;For more serious issues, look out for these signs:&lt;/p&gt;
  87.  
  88.  
  89.  
  90. &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Back pain lasts more than a few days&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The back pain affects your skating or training activities&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;It’s accompanied by weak, numb or painful legs&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Problems controlling your bladder or bowels&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Regular sleep patterns are disrupted by the pain&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Any signs of infection like fever, chills or sweating&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
  91.  
  92.  
  93.  
  94. &lt;p&gt;Visit a medical professional if any of these are the case, such as
  95. your Doctor or GP as they’re training means they’re more able to
  96. diagnose the issue in a much wider variety of ailments as compared to a
  97. physiotherapist. &lt;/p&gt;
  98.  
  99.  
  100.  
  101. &lt;h2&gt;How Do I Treat Back Pain From Skating?&lt;/h2&gt;
  102.  
  103.  
  104.  
  105.  
  106.  
  107.  
  108.  
  109. &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Well, if you really need to treat it, and you are concerned, &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;go to a medical professional for their advice&lt;/span&gt;.
  110. Below, there is a section on some common exercises you can do. There is
  111. also a section that gives recommendations on correct posture and form
  112. while skating. To control pain, anti-inflammatory medications (like
  113. ibuprofen) and
  114. muscle relaxants are often recommended. But all these are doing is
  115. masking the pain. Ibuprofen can be dangerous if taken too much, and this
  116. will not fix anything. &lt;/p&gt;
  117.  
  118.  
  119.  
  120. &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Bed rest is apparently not a good way to treat low back pain.
  121. Healthcare professionals can be consulted, such as physiotherapists ,
  122. athletic therapists, chiropractors (but in all cases you’ll want to pick
  123. a good one) . Some of these therapies work for some people, others
  124. don’t work for some at all, check the evidence, as it is mixed for some
  125. of these professions in their treatment of back pain (Cochraine reviews
  126. are great places to see reviews of the state of scientific evidence on
  127. these different techniques). &lt;/p&gt;
  128.  
  129.  
  130.  
  131. &lt;h2&gt;Bad Posture Can Lead To Back Pain While Skating – What To Do&lt;/h2&gt;
  132.  
  133.  
  134.  
  135.  
  136.  
  137.  
  138.  
  139. &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;If you’re a beginner, a good tip might be to &lt;b&gt;start out with shorter sessions&lt;/b&gt;. Another good tip is to &lt;b&gt;take shorter strides while having a rolled forward back&lt;/b&gt;.
  140. Imagine you were skating in the rain (which you should never do) which
  141. forces you to be careful and engage your core more. You should feel it
  142. in your stomach. You should &lt;b&gt;lean slightly forward, but your shoulders should not go over your knees&lt;/b&gt; and your pelvis should be tucked in. Also don’t have your bum sticking out by arching your back inwards,
  143. it should be bending forwards, but your core muscles are bringing your
  144. pelvis forward, tilted slightly up, belly button down towards your
  145. spine, upper back and shoulders relaxed. When you push sideways do so
  146. with your glutes (bum), some beginners push towards the back, which
  147. requires lower back muscles, which puts strain on the lower back. &lt;/p&gt;
  148.  
  149.  
  150.  
  151. &lt;p&gt;So, it’s a mix of arching your back correctly, bending in the knees,
  152. and not pushing too wide when you’re more upright. Imagine your centre,
  153. and don’t stride too far widely when you skate. &lt;/p&gt;
  154.  
  155.  
  156.  
  157. &lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image is-resized&quot;&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  158.  
  159.  
  160.  
  161. &lt;h2&gt;What If I’ve Been Skating For A While? Or I’m A Speed Skater?&lt;/h2&gt;
  162.  
  163.  
  164.  
  165.  
  166.  
  167.  
  168.  
  169. &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;a aria-label=&quot;One study investigated the incidence of lower back pain (opens in a new tab)&quot; href=&quot;https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3317439/&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;One study investigated the incidence of lower back pain&lt;/a&gt;
  170. reported in German elite speed skaters with non-traumatic low back
  171. pain. The left side was affected in the vast majority of cases,
  172. complaints were low-to-medium intensity, and were found to be related to
  173. the sacroiliac (SI) joint. Other structures were implicated in causing the pain, such as
  174. muscles, discs, and facet joints. It was inferred that the force
  175. associated with the counter clockwise track played a major role, as the
  176. athletes leaning inwards placing force on their hips and SI joints. &amp;nbsp; Similarly, if you are placing a large amount of force on
  177. joints and muscles by performing some repeated types of movements, or one
  178. movement that was particularly stressing, other structures could be put under
  179. stress become strained and then by not allowing enough rest, you can exacerbate
  180. these injuries. &lt;/p&gt;
  181.  
  182.  
  183.  
  184. &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;You want to catch these things early and allow the proper
  185. recuperation. See below for
  186. exercises recommended. &lt;b&gt;Handy Tip&lt;/b&gt;: some report that pulling the hands tight
  187. into the small of the back on longer skates (15 miles or more), in the
  188. back like the pros, or held in front of you, can help you develop your
  189. core balance because you’re not using the hands as much to stabilise.
  190. Scary to start but easier after a while and helpful for your skating
  191. form. Of course, when you are pushing hard in a sprint or up a hill
  192. they’ll start to move, as short, quick sweeps synchronised to your legs,
  193. counteracting the body twisting due to the push. &lt;/p&gt;
  194.  
  195.  
  196.  
  197. &lt;p&gt;Some have tried wearing a waist support belt like
  198. weightlifters use, but you would hope your core muscles would just develop enough
  199. to support you. &lt;/p&gt;
  200.  
  201.  
  202.  
  203. &lt;h2&gt;Exercises And Stretches That May Help With Skating Back Pain&lt;/h2&gt;
  204.  
  205.  
  206.  
  207. &lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image is-resized&quot;&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
  208.  
  209.  
  210.  
  211. &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;It’s your core stabilizer muscles (abs and low back) that provide
  212. your platform. With this platform you use your hips and thighs to give
  213. you that push outwards. It’s the &lt;b&gt;core, hips and thighs&lt;/b&gt;
  214. that are the big three when it comes to rollerblading. So the stronger
  215. and more balanced these muscles are, hopefully, the less chance of
  216. injury or strain on your back. &lt;/p&gt;
  217.  
  218.  
  219.  
  220. &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Stretching, balance exercises and plyometrics training&lt;/b&gt; – especially moving side to side – can help you develop these muscles and tendons. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
  221.  
  222.  
  223.  
  224. Stretching in particular can help especially if you are not used to
  225. rollerblading’s side-to-side movement. Also, if you are skating a lot
  226. without stretching this is a bad idea because you’re not counter-acting
  227. the tightening force that comes from the exercise. You will want to warm
  228. up gradually and stretch out and cool down to keep your muscles and
  229. joints in good form. This personal maintenance does require you to
  230. understand how important it is, and to make time for it. It will be
  231. worth it by helping to prevent injuries. Especially if you are over the
  232. age of 30, this becomes important as your body doesn’t recover as
  233. quickly as it did in your early 20s. To prevent low back pain specifically you’ll want to have your core
  234. muscles developed enough so that your spine remains in a relatively
  235. neutral position whilst being well supported by all the core muscles
  236. that are there to support it. So, to treat or prevent low back pain the
  237. stretching, balancing exercises and plyometrics are what you need.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://inlineskate-freestyle-butterfly.blogspot.com/feeds/2665962347053165463/comments/default' title='Posting Komentar'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://inlineskate-freestyle-butterfly.blogspot.com/2021/05/inline-skating-back-pain-causes-and.html#comment-form' title='0 Komentar'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/4719059986448854465/posts/default/2665962347053165463'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/4719059986448854465/posts/default/2665962347053165463'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://inlineskate-freestyle-butterfly.blogspot.com/2021/05/inline-skating-back-pain-causes-and.html' title=' Inline Skating Back Pain – Causes and Treatment '/><author><name>INLINESKATE FREESTYLE GROUP</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18305256150153532001</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMeqnOIwA3RzVBt9r8M24bDUGtEusUlHP42fJnC3_WQyGMX-zJumogW1DZL-YtzghDS2_U9-WuSu2qJYjB6mZVpfGWZ42Z0k25vb959q3o9AgcfjcDZh7-vwQRX9dA0A/s220/skate.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/FVwpmTZsI0c/default.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
