Painful Back!!!

And do you ice?

always - vodka isn't the same without it

Take up yoga....

I tried this back in the 80's but was a young impatient thing then and once in the stretch was eager to move on, so I trained in wieghts and power-lifting - it may be different now I'm an old impatient thing

Never tried weeding whilst standing on my head! Closer to the weeds I suppose!

LOL

Stretching is deffo the way to go, do some before you even get out of bed in the morning. It works wonders!

thanks everyone!!!! i do think that is why my back went,apart from overdoing it in the garden, i did jump out of bed yesterday and was rushing around, not give my body time to wake really

T'ai Chi. The Taoist Walk (which Himself insists on calling The Ninja Mince!) has relieved the backs of several of our class. I do it every session even though I don't have a bad back. It is a way of distributing the weight from hip to hip which slightly massages all the bits in between (too techincal for you?) You'd need to get someone to show you but it's a very easy exercise.
