Barboy Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 So I started working on Headstand after doing Tripod for a while (to increase strength and endurance in my head/neck), and I have no problem coming up.. The problem is when I get out of my headstand, when I lower my legs to the grounds and when I'm just about to let go of my hands off the floor I feel pain/discomfort in my shoulders.. I'm not sure how to explain it.. But maybe someone else had the same problem and solved it..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Macdonald Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I assume this is an H1 question? If so you'll want to ask in the right forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barboy Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 No, I don't own H1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Macdonald Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 In terms of shoulder and upper back condition for the headstand/handstand, I don't really know anything better than the H1 integrated mobility so I can't really comment. My advice would be to get H1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Clarkson Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I also get this after some time training Headstands, mostly in my upper back. Unsure how to progress from here.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cole Dano Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 As long as the pain goes away i a couple of minutes it's nothing to worry about. It will stop happening with some practice. That part of your back isn't used to working to hold you up on your head yet is all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus Rojas Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) Well I had that burning feeling in the past, I solved it by adopting a better posture in the desk and also adopting a better posture when I walk, I had to stop practice handstand for a couple of time and build up again slowly and also when I change my head posture to neutral(looking to the front) in handstand, instead of looking down to floor the pain just disappear.
