    Default Advice for back pain/discomfort after heavy lab work?

    Throughout the summer (and likely in the future) I do a TON of bending over of my upper and lower back depending on the tasks involved in labwork. After today (~7 hours) my back was so sore I couldn't finish my squat warmups due to some pretty bad pain (not a deadlift day so I can't comment on that).

    Are there any things I can do during or after I work? It is difficult to avoid bending much since most work has to be done close and is roughly waist height on me.

    Reverse Hyperextensions are amazing.

    How old are you and how long have you been doing this job? You need to find a long-term solution and not a short-term fix
