Great idea for a thread.
I have a perpetually tight left posterior chain, if that makes sense. I need to stretch and walk around whenever I'm sitting for long periods of time, or I get a mild tightness in my left lower back. I also feel a bit of tightness in the upper back and neck sometimes. When I foam roll, I feel more of a 'burn' in my left IT band and left calve.
It barely impacts my life, but only because I manage it with regular stretching, 1-2 yoga classes a week, and 5 mins of foam rolling at the start of every workout.
Other activity, I lift 3x/week, mostly big barbell movements, and play hockey 2x/week. I'm 27 and it's been a minor issue for at least 2-3 years.
Thanks for making this thread.
