Bad Back?

[ellipsis]

Cheers for the heads up. My back is fucked and I've had bad sciatic pain for years. I see a good Osteo once a month, and he makes it bearable...but I'll give one of these fangdangled contraptions a go!

...my osteo has become a good friend over the years he's been helping to make things work, but I will still be asking him why they didn't suggest the use of this kind of apparatus before now... like eight years ago ...he rides a couple of immaculate '70's Trumpets, so I wont be too hard on him...much...

They are brilliant man, got one, sorted my back out in no time. The gentle stretching part is the trick to it. Knocks ten years off ya age, lol.

Just re read this thread to justify to myself my expensive life and health insurance package just bought....

One thing I find therapeutic is a good ocean swim (mostly floating corpse style) in summer. The combination of sunshine, body equally and naturally supported from all angles taking weight and strain of usual places and also the pressure of the sea water against you chest making your lungs work a little harder in a good way.

If all else fails theres' chocolate and alcohol

Robin McKenzie is anything but a quack... just saying. That system of exercises based on range of motion and repetition is the basis of what most physio's use. Next time you're in have a look round and you might notice a McKenzie accredited sign. Certainly the one I use (Physio South) is.

Robin, (well the Mackenzie Institute) is the outfit that designed the seats for the NZ built Corollas. Unfortunately they were no longer used when Toyota ceased NZ production.
