You have to take it slow at first and dont hurt yourself by bending to far. I do it 30 times every morning and my back aches are rare now. It may work for you and may not but it may be worth a try.

The water was an extreme relief from the summer heat. Yeah' it was dangerous, but fun.<br />When I saw your full dam, my instinct (the innner 11 year old) said, Jump In!<br />I gotta bring you a surfboard from down here in the gulf coast. Im a retired surfer, so if you wanna learn to surf, I could teach you.
