If you see this comment please read all of it. I want to let you know what happened to me. I've been sleeping every night on my stomach with my head turn to the right. I've been sleeping this way for as long as I could remember. But particularly 19-21 up until I graduated college last summer. I then went on to be an iron worker. All that heavy lifting caused tension in my spine. It went from feeling like a strained muscle to feeling like I'm bleeding internally in my upper spine area. I've been trying for so long to find a stretch that could maybe stop the pain and I haven't yet. I could go to a chiropractor but I started working just a few months now and my ego can't handle the fact that I got hurt so quickly. The injury isn't super severe but it hurts sometimes, I haven't told anybody because I think it could be solved by doing stretches. The child’s pose stretch you did in this video targetted the exact area head on. It left like the bones in my upper spine are being squeezed. With rest and doing these surely I could get back to normal. I'll let you know.

How was it? Has your back improved yet?

[@rickhunter7443]

@@luigeledesma5122 the pain went away immediately, but started a week after I applied pressure to the area by lifting heavy stuff. When I did the stretch it felt like my spine released the tension a little. I need to get time off work for this thing to heal comfortably.

Can you do the one on your stomach standing?

[@ankitanand5443]

If I am doing a 4-day/week intense strength training exercise targeting most muscles, is this stretching exercise still needed? (I have felt this pain whenever I have not been active and my job is done mostly sitting at a desk)

[@HealthlineMedia]

If you're training that hard, yes, mobility and stretching exercises are definitely needed! Strength training often focuses on concentric, or shortening, muscle contractions. But for your joints to function optimally, you need a balance of strength and mobility. Stretching, foam rolling, and dynamic mobility training will all be helpful.
