    broken backs are nasty, you might wanna wait for it to heal before attempting any kind of adjustment

    I had a sprained back, that was bad enough!

    You can do 'back bridges' which is a calisthenic exercise, to give you more flexibility and strength, but if you're a noob it is also a good exercise to fuck you back up.

    the best thing I have done for my sore back is lose a bit of weight and do some core strength work. Situps, crunches, leg lifts, oblique dips, etc etc. repeat till you puke.

    I understand, so it is the stomach convulsions of puking that gives you the core strength. That must hurt after all those crunches etc.

    I would just abort the idea and concentrate on the rear BRAKE instead.

    I took up this last week because I've put my ankle out while running. Pretty surprised at how much of a workout it is, and my flatties get some free entertainment out of it too

    I broke by back in 2 places. I've not tried adjusting it though. I'm not sure if I have a manual either.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
