In reply to Michele Frances. It could be from the neck and upper back. If it is, a chiropractor should sort it out. (apologies for the late reply!)

In reply to Victor. Try getting a massage or see a chiropractor. Also you may benefit from blood tests and if all else fails, an abdominal scan.

In reply to Janet Church. I would recommend including planking as part of a whole body programme. If you want to up your reps I would suggest you do it under supervision. You could benefit your back by doing some simple basic yoga stretches like happycat/angrycat. This would also help to stimulate your abs.

I had been doing plank for several years without any problems. Recently, however, I experience pain in the front abdominal muscles, from the stomach area down to the pelvic bones. It starts at a low level as soon as I get out of bed and may intensify significantly, especially if I do simple stretching while standing with my arms up or the cobra exercise. Sometimes, the maximal dose of ibuprofen is needed after that. It subsides significantly or completely goes away if I lie down. I have not done plank for several months now, but the condition persists. It does not correlate with my other exercises (weightlifting). It appears that doctors, both ordinary physicians and sports medicine specialists, are not familiar with this condition.

[…] Overdoing this exercise can cause chronic inflammation in the intercostal muscles between the ribs and the pectoral muscles in the chest. Unfortunately, a lot of people tend to overdo this exercise, which can be as bad as not exercising enough. […]

I have some planks for 20 years and they never bothered me. The past year I had rotator cuff surgery and back issues and I stopped exercising. I can no longer do a plank without feeling extreme pressure in my head. Better if I do them straight armed but on elbows it really hurts. I am also experiencing pressure in head when bending over to pick things up. I suffer with vertigo every 6 months. I’ve had MRI of my head and cervical and everything is normal except cervical degenerative conditions but only moderate. Any thoughts of where this pressure is coming from would be appreciated.
No sinus issues either.

In reply to shiva koirala. HI. apologies for the late reply. I think it is good to do it every other day to allow your body to take on the benefit of the session. You can do other exercises in between
