    This was very helpful. I have been frequently finding myself with pain and tension in my mid back/latissimus dorsi area, which I think is from a combination of playing piano and guitar daily and then having my arms outstretched all day typing on a keyboard for work, as well as when driving. I’ve also been finding I’m getting a bit of anterior pelvic tilt and my hamstrings are insanely tight - it seems like these issues are all connected from what I’ve researched so far. The foam rolling and stretches have helped to relieve the back pain though.

No doubt all the exercises are good for what they’re intended for, but would help to include some for people with medical conditions like fibromyalgia/arthritis where mobility is limited. Thank you.

    These seem good in theory but if your muscle is strained these exercises may cause pain and further inflame the muscle and delay the recovery. Could you address this or provide alternate moves for those that literally can’t do those moves due to injury?

    Just not sure if I have lats pain. This sharp shooting pain comes and goes in the same area and stays 10-15 minutes or so. There is a bit pain left after that but the next day there isn't anything and all of sudden it comes back when I am playing or excercising or reaching something in the back.

    This was very helpful. I am in physical therapy for frozen left shoulder. I have developed so much pain after 2 mo of physical therapy and its occurring at the base of my lattisimus dorsi now. It is so bad I thought I was having a kidney stone that was stuck at the base of my lower back/pelvic area. So after going to emergency room and having a catscan i found out it was not a kidney stone. After watching this you tube video I see that all the exercises I am doing for frozen shoulder could be contributing to my pain at the end of my lattis dorsi. Perhaps I am doing them incorrectly. Your video has been very informative and I am going to try these stretches. Thank you so much
