Re: Back Pain and Ankle Pain
What kind of shoes do you wear? If your ankles are sore you might want to wear something with ankle straps or maybe even boots to take some of the stress off your ankles. I know a lot of dancer don't like chunkier heels but they do help equalize your weight better and should cause less pain in your back and ankles.
Have you considered maybe a shorter heel as well?
Working out will help too. :)
Re: Back Pain and Ankle Pain
I wear 6-inch heels, they do have ankle straps but the heel is really skinny. Hmm maybe I'll look into new shoes thanks :)
Re: Back Pain and Ankle Pain
Yeah, I agree that working out will totally help with the back pain. I always have terrible back pain, and when I start getting more excercise it really helps. There are certain back strengthening moves that I'm sure you could find by just googling it. And of course, having a strong core really helps with your back.
