I am experiencing some dull pain on the lower back, it is on the right side. Is the 15 minute massage going to work it out, but under the no new is good new advice, am not sure I should do so this today (right before the marathon). Please advise. Thanks!

P.s. I have iced it few times, and i have not done any stretches.

Is the discomfort altering your walking or running gait? Is it more annoying than anything else? Light stretching is a good idea. Some mild to moderate massage work could be helpful too.

Let us know

The discomfort is not altering running/walking. It feels like it is just there. what stretch is going to help? Please advise

Thanks,
