I had a whle week of lower body training and pain has lessened a lot, even while being seated. Anyway some days I feel nothing and some others I feel "something" there; I wouldn´t say it hurts, but I won´t take risks.

Next week I´ll try with some good mornings and pull-throughs, and see how it goes.

If you can't avoid sitting, then be sure you are sitting properly when you have to sit. Sit up tall on your "sits bones" (ischial tuberosities) and keep a natural arch in your lower back. Avoid poking your chin forward and lengthen your neck by lifting up from the crown. Take a break every 20 minutes and stand up and walk around.

When you don't have to sit, don't. Spend time on your belly, propped up on your elbows.
That´s good advice, I put it into practise and it really makes a difference. I am prone to flunging myself into the chair and forget proper position when I´m tired or get distracted.

Thanks!
