While at the clinic I started an active physical therapy program, using aerobics, and weight training.Now I can hear some of you out there saying,"But I can't do any of that". Well, when I started I couldn't do " any of that" either. When I first started I could only ride an exercycle for 5 minutes. The most weight I could lift was maybe 10 pounds. After a few months I am able to ride for 45 minutes, or 8 miles, I can lift 40 to 80 pounds, depending on the lift type (I use a full workout machine (nautilis)).I am walking about 4 miles a day. I'm not going to tell you this works for everyone, or that I am now pain free, but I feel like I can enjoy life again. Body mechanics is another area that we all need to address.How you move, turn, set, or stand is critical to your well being. If you are one of many who have chronic pain due to back injuries, this is of the utmost importance.
