I've had issues over the last decade with my back and it now pretty
much goes out a few times every year. It's gotten worse and worse,
especially since I've gotten really sedentary over the last few years as I
focused on working online.
But earlier this year I started swimming on a daily basis and my back felt
completely different. I can't say the issue went away because it wasn't
long enough to know, but before there was always this feeling like it
could go at any minute if I pushed it. And that feeling was really gone.
Until I stopped swimming. Now it's out again after a couple months of no
pool and I'm laid up in bed with a pulled muscle in my back. Connection?
I think yes.
Obviously I need to just get serious about taking care of my body again.
And obviously swimming does my back wonders, but I want to do more
than just that to develop a strong core and hopefully retrain whatever
muscles in my back are not doing their job.
I truly believe that I can eradicate the problem if I focus my attention in
the right areas.
Here are some things I'm considering:
Yoga
Pilates
The Alexander Technique (when I have the money for real training)
Kettlebells (once I've strengthened my core)
I realize you guys aren't doctors and can't give medical advice but any
input is appreciated....

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.
To be your own man is a hard business. If you try it, you'll be lonely often, and sometimes
frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." - Kipling
