I Have To Do Both Before I Get Up In The Morning And I Swear By It. I Think Back Pain Is The Worst! Good Luck. Joan

Thanks, Joan! My physical therapist is actually having me do these at therapy, and now I think I'll give them a try at home as well. It did help doing these yesterday at therapy- I, for the first time left feeling better than when I arrived! Though after several hours I was feeling pretty bad (especially my back and hips)... Maybe there is something to those excercises after all.
Thanks again.
