Upper Back Injury

I’ve been recovering from an upper back injury for the past couple of years. The main muscles in my upper back aren’t activating properly (“cold muscles”), so other areas have been overcompensating causing constant soreness and even pain that radiates into my arms.

Staying inactive makes it worse, so I started moving more even just walking helped. About 4 weeks ago, I began doing push-ups and pull-ups. At first I struggled to do 6 push-ups, but now I’m hitting full sets of dips, pull-ups, and even handstand push-ups. Pain’s still there, but training consistently has really improved how I feel
