Lower Back Pain

Eastern-style meditative stretching
aka Yoga.



I had lower back issues for years. Tried PT, stretching, blah, blah, blah. Nothing worked.



I finally went to a well-respected but yet pretty hip spine doc. He gave me a list of stretches, and at the bottom of the list he wrote in big capital letters:



“YOGA!!!”



I had always thought that yoga is for peaceful, introspective, meditative, new-age, sensitive dudes that use conditioner in their hair. But with a little encouragement from Mrs Dressmeister, I found a couple good instructors at the local gym and life has been grand ever since.
