Alternative and natural healers for back pain have long been proponents of motion = healing (for most non-acute forms of lower back pain, upper back pain, and neck pain) ... and it appears that Modern Doctors are now agreeing ....
Low Back Pain: Many Options for Relief - Chronic Pain: Health and Medical Information Concerning Chronic Pain Management on MedicineNet.com: "Once upon a time, doctors told people with low back pain to stay in bed for three days -- perhaps with a board under their mattress. That very bad advice actually made back pain worse, Chou says.
'We don't want people lying in bed,' he says. 'Get out. Try a normal range of activities, but back off if your back hurts. But you won't hurt your back by doing regular stuff, and it may actually keep your back conditioned and strong.'"
To your health,
Charlie
