What can I do for a sore back?
by

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I too have a bad back and am following a 99-cent book titled Low Back Pain Exercises, which I downloaded from Amazon. It gives you 12 easy-to-do daily exercises that are helping me a lot. This is the first exercise: Lie on your stomach on the floor and rest your chin in the palms of your hands as if you’re reading a book. It will hurt but stay in that position for at least a minute—two is better. This position will force your lower back into the shape it was meant to have before you wrecked it by too much lifting or twisting or whatever. After a few days you’ll notice the difference. Good luck.
