Oblique or lower back strain exercise request
With perfect timing given that I'm moving this week, I strained a muscle that I have never strained before.
I always lift with good form and I've been moving heavy objects for the last six months with no problems, so I'm not sure what happened. However, it did happen after I moved a bunch of heavy objects in extreme heat (over 100 F), so maybe the heat relaxed my muscles too much? Is that even possible?
Anyway, the part that hurts is my right lower back a couple inches above where the butt ends, diagonally wrapping around to my side (lower on my side, higher on my back). Is that the oblique?
I have done the ice-and-rest-and-heat thing as much as possible. I think it's time to start PT. Please rec suitable exercises. The rest of my lower back also hurts though not as much, so general low-back exercises are also good.
