Tight upper back

[brokk]

Hi folks,

recently I've started to do a little carrying/overhead work. Farmer walks, overhead squats and overhead carrying (or weight over shoulder).

All this stuff is making my upper back really really tight. Right between the shoulderblades (exactly where I have slight scoliosis)


Should I go on and just try to alleviate the pain with stretching (what stretches?) and hyperextending the spine every once in a while (two tennis balls in a sock work very well, my back will feel much better after that).
Or should I stop doing this kind of training?


thx in advance!
