We both (DW, self) laughed, because she's been doing that almost every morning for some time now, and it does help a lot. My concern is that between our aging and her own health issues, how much longer will this be possible? Daily/frequent visits with a therapist, or continuous use of muscle relaxers aren't really practical.
