Default Re: Bad back

Feel for all of you. Late 30's and back is good, but regularly stretched. Spent quite a bit of time as foam/fibreglass monkey when younger making boards - again it's repetitive with loadings on lower back and twisting through hips. These days I try to automate and save the body for the ocean.

Just a pointer: when young and at Uni, two yoga instructors stand out. One was an ex-chippie who had done his back in and used yoga to enable him to continue before really getting into it and becoming a teacher. Other was an ex-deckie (55kg pots to pull x 110 each morning, twice) whose back ended up similar, and took a similar path. As a primer I can suggest the book "Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth" by Peter Kelder
