airinpie Posted July 26, 2017 Share #1 Posted July 26, 2017 I woke up this morning with my back freaking out. Its not really spasmimg, just feels locked up. So I'm icing and anti-imflamming for today. This has not been my summer in regards to stupid painful things happening to me ? Mom supposed to do a triathlon on Saturday, and next weekend I'm registered for the NC Mountain Ride (which looks awesome). My body needs to get its act together.

Good nutrition. Try it all girl! You need to get to that Mountain Ride!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sound like my wife. I take every chance I get to remind her I'm a year and a half older. And wiser. Plus, I'm a year older than you, Smudgie. Give us elders some respect.

Kzoo Posted July 27, 2017 Share #16 Posted July 27, 2017 Here's what I do as directed by by chiro and it helps every time. One minute of a modified upward dog yoga position- modified by doing it off the elbows instead of the palms. This is followed by several reps of the cat-cow movement. I hold the cat position for a few seconds after I feel the back muscles relax and repeat. Every rep they loosen quicker. After a few reps they are completely loose and I stop. Without fail I feel much better when done. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
