I stopped my frequent exercise (martial arts) and now my back hurts. Why?

I am into martial arts. Stretching, sparring, running and all that. But now I do it much less frequent. Most of what I do now is mild stretching while watching the tv or when I wake up in the morning and before I go to bed. My muscles, esp my back, aches even when I’m relaxing. I know lack of the activity might have allowed my muscles to not be as elastic as they used to. Please help me.


you need to stretch. i use the book 3-minutes to a pain free life for my stretching exercises but you can find plenty online but you probably know plenty already. you need to stretch more and it will quit.

    Because you’ve stopped & your body is stiffening up because you aren’t stretching.
