Unfair
« on: April 12, 2008, 05:58:54 PM »
One of my Jap Maple killing labs just did that strech and groan thing that only doggies can do, and I'm beyond jelousy with my F'ed up back and aching muscles.  Dogs!

Use the piece of equipment she's using here, called a "roman chair".



Talk to a trainer first, of course.

[obligatory male chauvanist comment] Does she come with the equipment? [/comment]

BigJake,

Once you are healed, start doing yoga.  It stretches and exercises your core very well, which will help protect your back.

I do agree about the dog, and cats too.  They almost always take a few seconds to stretch before doing anything important.  Smart animals.

Yep, like curling up and going back to sleep.   grin
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

I feel your pain.

Mtnbkr's daughter Abby demanded that I sit on a cold concrete slab and "play chalks" with her yesterday.

Last night my hip was screaming so loud that I really thought I was going to have to break into the Vicodin supply.

Much better today, though.

Before anyone goes to work on their lower back muscles, it's worth mentioning that weak abs can also cause lower back pain.  If you think of your spine like a tent pole, the erector spinal muscles in the back and the rectus abdominis muscles in the front act as guy lines.  If one side is weak, the entire structure is weak.
