Bad backs
Several years ago I was Injured at school when a friendly, but slightly feral, young lad jumped on me from behind. Apart from weeks of hydrotherapy I was supplied with a chair for work that was supposed to support my spine.I also had to do exercises with a Fitball to strengthen the back
Unfortunately I also have stenosis and ankylosing spondolitis. Recently the back has given me more than enough trouble so I had a few sessions with the physio. I have religiously carried out his exercise requirements and that has certainly helped.
However I think the thing that has helped most is to use my Fitball as a chair.
This forces you into good posture and also exercises muscle groups that support the spine. Best Chair I've ever had!
Recommended for all of you who have crook backs.

Bouncing up and down on the fit ball while holding the baby is a sure fire way to calm her down and send her off to sleep as well. I had a day off this week with a sore back. So getting the baby to sleep is fixing my back at the same time.
Those were the droids I was looking for.

Fitball??? Huh?
Why call them fitball? What would you call it? Can you slouch on it?
Bet I could ha he.
My bk is stuffed.
I'll get one. What do they look like so I know what I'm looking for?
Have I seen them on Tv? Or in the media somewhere?
Thanks Tony.Don't pass them by! Be daring and caring!
Dampen their misery....sit with them and talk a little.
Buy them something to eat and a tram fare to a local mission.
I'm so lucky that I've somewhere to live and have family support.
