back wacked

[stonefish]

ok im fishing for some good lower back stretches and work outs. i havnt been able to surf as regularly as i should to stay loose. im trying not to use pills , so i guess a massage and self adjusting is preferable......ive heard ice, and hot baths.....? ill try all.

start pilates in pilates gym with a qualified instructor you won't look back so effective on your core stability.... [also the class is usually full of women so there's something to look at besides the standard sweaty hairy buggers]

Yoga, Pilates, and lots of abs (core) strength will save you.

Try using a foam roller for self massage.

this one works really well for me - after a hard day at the vdu




but everyone's back is different,



this one slips my discs in my lower back where the belong and stop them pressing on nerves

use with care, I aint no doctor, and know nothing about backs, - except I own one


PS that pic isn't me - my hair is shorter

thanks for all the good advice.....i will try them all, although i think i might make my own tension rack with surf leashes and harken selftailing winches...
ive been doing the stretches but i dont think ill ever be as flexible as her!

i hope to get a surf in soon....seems to be the best thing ,just being in the water...
