Having experienced my fair share of low back pain over the years (the medical bills make great souvenirs, in an odd sort of way), I was intrigued by Michael Stare and Cassandra Forsythe's latest piece on T-Nation. As they state in the article :
You see, the solution to low back pain isn't the hour you spend in physical therapy each week, or even the hour or two you spend in the gym; it's every other hour you spend living your life. From standing, to sitting, to lifting, to sleeping, every position you take has an impact on the health of your spine.
The article offers several ways to periodically deload your spine; not just at the gym, but in your life as a whole. Definitely worth a look.
