chances are if your doing anything that involves weights you arent doing the right stuff.....the exercises my personal physical therapist gave me to do to fix my back dont have me doing any weights other than the weight of my own body.....your targeting a completely different set of muscles for a back injury.....if you dont look like your doing yoga or some sorta dumb arse thing your prolly not doing the right thing grin


actually,I do the "yoga like" stuff also.
They have a gym full of weight machines expressly designed for neck and back therapy.Its not a regular gym.Only people with neck and back injuries go there.
I guess only time will tell if it works or not.
