Moved house last week, lots of bad lifting on my part meant my lower back has been feeling a bit sore/ stiff on one side for a few weeks now. Getting the bikes out of the shed this morning and something suddenly got a lot worse. Moving the bike around was a struggle, by the time I got to work I could barely walk. Cue an hour wait in the local NHS walk in and a taxi ride home, and I'm now laid up in bed on co-codamol. Just managed to stand up straight for the first time since this morning, although bearing any weight on my left leg is still painful.
If this passes relatively quickly I'm going to take it as my cue to start taking much better care of my core. My work has a free gym membership, as well as yoga/ pilates / stretching, what can be done in there to help?
