Hi,
I have just had to have various steroid injections into my spine due to wear/injury with some of my discs, currently very bored recovering!!!
I'm now really thinking about how to help my back and posture for the future, I have had pain in my back before this for some time and tried to bend/move better but still tended to use shortcuts as its generally easier/quicker! I could possibly have an ongoing problem so I really need to help myself.
Have you had problems in the past? What do you do to help?
When I'm better I'm going to start Pilates which should help posture and core muscles, but also little things like use a sack barrow to move shavings bales instead of just carrying them and trying to lift things by bending my knees not just bending over.
Any ideas will be great!! I really don't want to end up giving up my horses or being restricted with what I can do with them!
