Hi, I'm newish to bartending. Need some advice and I hope this is the right place for it. I'm not sure if most of you experience this too, but I get really bad back pain from being hunched over my well all night. I've been doing consecutive shifts and LOTS of OT lately so I'm pretty sure that's a factor but its been a recurring problem. Everything I do at work ends up triggering tight knots between my shoulder blades and lower back pain. Is this something that just gets better with time? There’s no way I could do this forever.

I try to do exercise but I'm really tired after every shift, so it's barely enough to make a difference. Have any of you experienced the same? How did you deal with it?
