Surfing often tightens back pain muscles, further increasing muscle imbalances, and increasing back pain.
When you extend up, you're constantly tightening the paraspinal and quadratus lumborum muscles, inflaming trigger points that are at the source causing you back pain.
It's so common after a day of surfing to feel super tight in your neck, upper and lower back, for this reason. This constant movement and posture in 1 position tightens those lower back and neck pain muscles, rather than release them.
It's important to release those muscles regularly, from a qualified Neuromuscular/Trigger Point Massage Therapist, in order to prevent the trigger points and pain from compounding daily.
