Best way for me to recover (I've had 2 serious car crashes + injuries) and stay healthy: I do this hip flexer routine every day and have for years: https://app.fitonapp.com/browse/workout/717. It may have been made for women, as the coach is a woman as is her guest on the video, but the exercises are worth a look. The other thing that worked wonders for me: regular deep massage from someone who worked on injured athletes (the one I had worked with injured ballerinas from the NYC and Boston ballet companies. Those folks know how to stretch!) I've given up squats altogether because they do not like my back or my knees; that could just be my age (66) talking. Great post, btw. I learned so much about back pain/issues/ healing options. Here's to the best of health! Keep moving, keep stretching!

Oh wow, Mary! I'm going to be flexing my hips from now on - thanks!
Welcome! I’ve been doing it every morning without fail for years. It’s a great way for me to start my day.
I have a super osteopath - she's always my first port of call! Great post - thanks, Ben.
