*hugs* (maybe all this virtual hugging is making my back tense  )
My old teacher was in rowing too. He never complained, though some days he wouldn't talk to us...maybe he was irriable from the pain?

| he probably had a bad row on those days. this sport has this way of either making or breaking your day. if i start off with a great row, i'm glowing for the rest of the day. if it's bad, it tends not to be too good. |

I'm just wondering (just offtopic), what ethicity are you? I just keep on thinking in my mind you're Asian for some really random reason

I hope this does not come off sounding too wrong or inappropriate,
but when all else fails what works for me is,
masturbation and then a nice hot bath,
puts me right to seep. |

Potassium, lots of water, asprin, motrin or advil.
Have you seen a chiropractor?

Self Myofascial Release
Foam rollers are popular in pilates. You can use them for the exercises described in the link above. Its basically a form of self massage using tools, and regular practice will help immensely. There really is nothing bad that can come from regular MFR practice. I can't stress how freaking awesome it is. For almost every exercise there is a trade off, but MFR is seriously like the Holy Grail of kinesiology. It is closer to perfection than anything else I have seen in the world. I mean, the body literally takes care of almost everything itself. I don't even think its possible to overdo it, although there certainly are diminishing returns.
For a more indepth explanation of the biomechanics, see below. 
Think of fascia as like a sac that surrounds your entire musculature and connective tissues. Poor movement and posture habits will cause your muscles to develop abnormal resting tension and length. This stretches out the fascia like a too-full balloon, and causes feelings of muscle tightness, as well as scar tissue buildup.
Using a foam roller simulates muscle tension, much like deep tissue/shiatsu massage. This simulated tension triggers the golgi tendon organ, which - to use a computer metaphor - hits the reset button on your muscles' length and tension, returning them to a more comfortable and natural length. Releasing this muscle tightness removes the stress on the fascia and facilitates the removal of scar tissue.
The actual pain of feeling tight is due to this stress on the fascia. Actually being tight (i.e. not having full range of motion at a joint) causes this fascia stress. Being tight is caused by your nervous system defaulting to poor biomechanical skills that it has acquired from a sedentary lifestyle or other inflammation.
Its been a while since I reviewed my kinesiology notes, so I can't say this is all 100% correct. I know for sure that I used to be able to explain it much more clearly than this, but dropping out of school can really dull the mind.
Again, regardless of the exact mechanics, it is soooo awesome! Its like getting a massage every time you do it, only the masseuse knows exactly what you need and gives it to you every time.
Sorry for the rant, but MFR is one of my favorite topics in all of kinesiology. I forgot how much I loved it after I dropped out of school last semester. I'll definitely get back into it and maybe later I'll post a thread dedicated to it.
Hope this helps! Just do eeet!
