Back pain when running?

PixieLady Jun 2011 9:31pm, 1 Jun 2011 31 posts	Quote Pin PixieLady I keep getting back ache after running and today, during my run. Am I right in assuming that it's down to my posture and in time I'll work it out? I'm trying to get back into doing yoga more often to sort my core and straighten my posture out as I do have scoliosis, which tips me over to one side. Any ideas for anything I could do greatly appreciated.
