Here to report on a slight set back and quick recovery.

A couple of weeks ago I went on a trip to the Adirondacks trip 'report' here and managed to hurt my back again. Not from the hiking, but I think from loading heavy stuff into the van in an awkward position. The injury showed up the next day.

I started the McKenzie stretches immediately, and am pretty much back to full function less than two weeks after getting hurt.

After talking with other oldies about their back issues, a common suggestion is to continue the exercises even after recovery. I thought that after I recovered, I wouldn't need to do the exercises any more. Time to accept that this old bod can't do some things it used to, and that it requires preventive maintenance ; )

Have Fun,
