🔎 Main causes of back and joint pain during and after exercise
1. disorganized form or body imbalance
Exercising with incorrect form places an unbalanced load on muscles and joints, causing inflammation and pain.
Especially in squatting, running, golf, etc., if the trunk is not stable and flexible enough, it is easy to concentrate the burden on the hips and knees.
2. lack of muscle strength and flexibility
Weak muscles or stiff fascia and tendons may not absorb shock well and cause pain.
It is especially common among those who work mainly at a desk and the elderly.
Inflammation due to overuse
Repetition of the same movement can cause small damage to joints and tendons, which can accumulate and lead to inflammation (tendonitis, bursitis, etc.).
Examples: Runner's knee, tennis elbow, etc.
4. original joint disease or skeletal problems
If there is mild osteoarthritis or degeneration of the intervertebral discs, exercise may cause symptoms.
Rarely, an underlying disease such as rheumatoid arthritis may be present in the background.
