Hi Mike: Great suggestion.
Also, Nathan, you may want to check out the following: www.backmagic.com The pelvic support offered? I can see how it would work with normal back problems; it has done little to alleviate my situation. However, if you order the full package ( which is not that expensive ), it also comes with an excercise book backed by alot of research. The excercises are non-evasive, developed exclusively for those with back injuries, and are designed to restore full strength to the lower back. Key elements involve stress factors ( both mental and physical ), muscle habits, acid/basic balance in the body, and metabolic considerations ( i.e. diet by body type ectomorph, endomorph or mesomorph ). Correct stretching excercises can go a long way to preventing injury. As the saying goes "If I knew then what I know now...." Best Regards, Jason ----- Original Message ----- From: "M. G.
