Lower back pain on back squat

I am doing high bar back squats in my training and recently have been having lower back pain at the lock out portion of the lift. It doesn’t bother me at the bottom but as soon as I hit the top the pain hits. What would be the best course of action? Or, squat variations/exercises to work on this issue. Thanks

Hey there! Have you checked out any of our free content? I would start with this article which I think will answer most of your questions. If you still feel like you need more guidance I would recommend either our low back template or a remote consultation with one of us from the pain and rehab team. If you have more specific questions after reading the article, we are happy to help!

The low back template takes about 9-12 weeks to complete. If I were you, I would likely go back to the first phase and run the whole thing through once you finish the LBP template.

I had regular back pain issues. I work as a data analyst, so back pain is my mate. During my first pregnancy, I had regular back pain. Physical therapy exercises and walking help me a lot in enduring the pain. The exercises help to increase flexibility which helps a lot in back pain. I am practicing yoga along with physiotherapy and my doctor recommended customized exercises that I believe are a combination of yoga and stretching exercises.
After pregnancy, I tried massage therapy and it turned out good. Even now I take massage sessions to relax my body and mind.

Would a safety bar squat help with backpain?
