“I\u2019ve had a lot of issues over the last 12 months or so. It obviously was worse last year than it is this year. Every year until last year, I could get away with just hopping in the car and not doing any physio in a way. Not the best thing. I always did it, but I could get away with it.<\/p>\n
“Now I have to do it [physio]. I have to stretch, I have to do all these things morning and evening, before every session. If I don\u2019t then I always struggle a lot more with my back.”<\/p>\n

Don’t miss… <\/strong> Norris went on to explain that his back pain has been taking a toll on his personal life by causing sleep problems and standing in the way of his other passions, with the Brit now playing much less golf than he would ideally like.<\/p>\n “It\u2019s not just racing, it is other things,” he added. “It\u2019s just something that I\u2019ve had to work on in general anyway but it\u2019s definitely not helped by some of the changes on the car in the last couple of years. It got to quite a bad point last year.<\/p>\n “Every day I was struggling, struggling with sleep and everything, just in constant pain. Now I\u2019m in a much better position but I\u2019m also limiting a lot more things around it, you know, doing more stretching, all those things. Even like golf, I\u2019m playing a lot less golf just because of my back.”<\/p>\n Follow our Express Sport<\/i> page on Instagram <\/b>here<\/b>. <\/b><\/p>\n
