Pain in lower back after riding...

[Hammer]

So I'm in PT twice a week and they rearrange my bones and make me do core strengthening exercises for 45 minutes.

That's a good point to remember... My lower bach aches, but all across it. For me it's just that my body isn't used to leaning over a bike yet. I should've been doing sit ups and back extensions all winter. I meant to. I just didn't. So now I'm trying to be better about strengthening my core.

That might help like the PTs are making limewave do.

Have you been doing core/abs exercises. I know before I started doing these, I would get exactly the same pain, I even had a hard time bending over. Since I've been exercising...What a difference.

I had experienced a sacral area pain when I rode my new bike, but not on my old one, and my bike was fit. The bike shop suggested as i'm riding a different position to do stretches for a little bit, ride my bike 3 or so more times and if there was no improvement, come back. I also am visiting my chiropractor tomorrow for a long overdue appt also to see if that will help too.

my PT has me doing some Pilates for core strengthening. I do front and side planks and she is doing pressure point release on the lumbosacral region.

PT is the thing if you can afford it.
