Hope you feel better soon! I totally recommend an accupressure mat, if you don’t already have one. I have never seriously injured my back but I do get upper back stiffness after sitting at desk for most of the day and not holding great posture, this mat is a life saver. Here is the product details which seems like it could provide you some relief even for a serious injury:
-IMMEDIATE back and neck pain relief in the comfort of your home in as little as 20 minutes per day
-ELIMINATES the need for expensive treatments as well as therapist, masseuse and chiropractor visits
-EFFECTIVELY induces a state of complete relaxation while reducing aches, pain, stress and tension
-RELIEVES not only back, neck, shoulder and sciatic pain whether mild or chronic but also relieves headaches
-OTHER BENEFITS include improved sleep, circulation, and mood as well an increase in energy levels
When you first get on it, it feels terrible, like pins and needles. To really feel a difference I try to lay on it until it doesn’t feel terrible anymore and my muscles are completely relaxed. You feel as if the mat almost becomes one with you 😉
I’m excited to follow your journey and watch your flexibility increase! I agree middle splits are the worst. The only way I can stand to be in them long enough to see results, is by doing muscle isolations, breath in squeeze all my leg muscles, breath out relax all my leg muscles.
