Back Problems

[The1BigWillie]

Wacky once you are back on your feet you need to ask a trainer at your gym to help you with some core exercises to strengthen your core and back.  My family of rather tall people have a history of back issues and I was always worried about having a bad back and since my 20s have concentrated on core strength the best I could and keeping my back and core in reasonably solid condition.  At 40 I have never been to a chiropractor and can't recall having more than a few hours of discomfort due to over stress or a pulled muscle.  Give it a try next time you are at the gym and back on your feet. Good luck.

This might sound weird, but if it's your mid/lower back, lay on it and take really deep belly breaths slowly, don't breathe with your chest.

A friend suggested this awhile back and it helped a ton, and worked pretty quickly. It's a natural readjuster or some crap.

How do you breathe without using your chest?

Honestly, I don't know.. But when you figure it out, you're gonna have a good time.

It's breathing into your diaphragm, so your stomach rises instead of your chest. Allows you to take in more air with each breath. Eastern philosophy has a lot about deep breathing. Breathing into your chest makes you more in your head and neurotic, while breathing deeper makes you more grounded, present.
