back trouble, oh yeah

[anotheranon]

My lower back has been a festering problem all week. I think the cooling weather may not be helping - a massage therapist friend of mine advised me that muscles tend to contract involuntarily when they're cold. Lucky me, I get cold so frickin' easily....

I'm off to fencing tonight anyway, as I find that the movement loosens me up and club is physically the most comfortable time of the week for me - I'm sweating and my hamstrings are not grateful, but everything else works.

even though living in excellent Kinnarps, my lower back and shoulders are rahter sore from time to time.

I have this cloth-bag filled with wheat (not crushed) which I put into the microwave owen for four minutes and then put on my back or shoulders. works miracles.

and then there is exercise of course, horseback riding, preferably without falling off ;))
