iv mentioned this before and i still cant find a solution. actually i cant find a problem. after a few minutes of rising trot i always get a really bad pain in my lower back. i do rising trot fine, iv had no complaints from my instructor. actually i was made an example of for the not so experienced riders (was embarresing, had to trot around while everyone watched :o ). it doesnt hurt in sitting trot or canter so i have no clue why it hurts so much in rising trot. i havnt mentioned it to my instructor as i dont know how she can help.

What do you do for a living? I'm at a desk all day; I'm a writer and I tend to hunch over. I have the same problems sometimes with lower back pain and I think it's more because of the way I sit all day long than how I'm posting the trot. So I'm trying to pay more attention to my posture (ha! I almost wrote "pasture) during the day.

hi, im a student on a gap year at the moment. im going to uni in sep. so i dont really spend much time at a desk. though i will admit i do slouch (sp?) when watching the tv. its got me scared a bit as my half sister is flat bound due to a bad back. she has had it for about 3 years and hasnt moved from her flat in ages. i dont think i am in any way as bad as her but it gets you thinking! its not very nice to end up like that. i am a reasonably active person and would rather die than have my mobility taken away!
anyway...cheers for the reply. il see how next weeks lesson goes :D

HI!!

I have bad lower back problems as well and I am only 16!!!! It all started when I was lifting stuff that was to heavy and from then on it hurts when I sit with bad posture or lift heavy things and so on. I am very active, I dance alot [will be at least 8 hours a week in september] I work my abs every day, and for the summer I swim an hour and a half a day so if I ever wasn't able to do anything I would have to starve myself so I didn't get fat!!!:D Posting doesn't really bother me though!!
