I have had lower back problems for decades. I have a stretching routine I do most mornings, knee hugs, cats and dogs, Mckenzie’s hamstrings and of last week lunges on the osteopaths instructions. However my back has been much improved since I stopped going bouldering at the wall. I think it was a sort of whiplash/ compression effect from jumping off.
Steve did you see the Osteopath in Beverley?
