A piece of foam 2 foot long Daz will change you’re life m8,lower back problems more often than not come from tight hamstrings,hamstrings go in to you’re glutes and lower back putting a strain especially on you’re back.
You can also get policeman’s foot or planter tightness in the foot, it all comes from tightness in the hamstrings.
Roll the foam on the outside of your thighs too up and down what’s called the T band it also frees up lower back.

You wan the smooth 1 the nobbly ones all they do is hurt you when you roll on them,the smooth one is more usable

[Michael Peterson]

Daz when you get on that foam roller open your back by hugging yourself like your wearing a straight jacket

[Michael Peterson]

I read a book called becoming a supple leopard I think you would like it also

[Slacky]

Since youve been off work Daz, I’ve had 19 record days on the trot and written my tickets out for tomorrow.

im quite sure itll be fine mate....

[dazmond]

remarkably my back feels almost normal now....the best its been for months...i think the break from the gym (and work) and the stretching over the last 3 days have helped a lot......maybe it just needed the rest......

ive not took any painkillers this afternoon at all which is a good sign!

[deeege]

Don’t be fooled into a false sense of security Daz, your back will be highly susceptible to going ping again now whilst the muscles recover, that’s what always used to happen to me. Take it easy and ease yourself back into it.

yeah i get what your saying mate.......no painkillers at all today......took dog out for a 60 min walk then drove to tesco to do my food shopping and its stiffened up again and is a bit achy but ok.......

ive got my foam roller now so im gonna give that a try this afternoon........

[dazmond]

i think when i start back on monday ill use the lumbar support band ive got and strap that around me and just use the lightest set up i can(xtreme brush,xtreme pole,carbon gooseneck)thats all i can do really.......

[Dave Willis]

Well done mummy’s little soldier!

My back specialist at the time i was having problems told me that these lumber supports etc are not advised as an all day support as yes they will support your back to a degree but they are taking away the opportunity for the appropriate muscles to strengthen which is what you really need.  Ok for 5-10 mins (say like lifting heavy weights) but not really for anything longer.

i had to relent this afternoon and take some codeine and ibuprofen again,not took any since yesterday morning......i got up from my desk chair before and i couldnt stand up straight again,back too stiff and achy,so hot water bottle on it and massaged it again.....its starting to p*** me right off now!

if a lumbar support will get me to work on monday morning then ill wear it all day while poling........

I would of thought you'd be a waitrose man Daz

[Dave Willis]

Daz, when you take the dog for a walk, does he bend down and pick his own poo up?

Hi Daz,

Last Friday night I ‘slipped a disc’ it’s happened to me 4 times. Agony.

When it happens I can’t move well, and the slightest flex in the spine is very painful. It usually (and strangely) gets better about 48 hours later. By better, I mean I can move around more. It can take weeks to get fully better, and in fact I’ve had it hurt for months on end before.

Personally, I’ve come to the conclusion that it isn’t work related. Now bare with me....

I think if you are carrying any family stress or tension, it can affect your back. Doctors are starting to cotton on to the emotion-body connection.

I have noted over the years that my back suffers when I’m stressed. My back first went when my dad came back into my life, and the stress that went with it. He’s a major alcoholic, almost died twice.

Since then, my back only suffers when emotions are running high and I’m not keeping on top of them.

Of course, sometimes it can be purely physical, I don’t doubt that. But just bare it mind it might be more than that. I only say this as you had a family meal.

Hope it gets better soon mate!


If it’s disc related, then no amount of massage will help. I spent £££ on physio and massage, but that only helps the muscles.

Keep on top of emotions, and stress. Keep on top of your health (which you do) and it should pass.

I agree with this.

The mind and the body are connected. Mental stress / pain manifests in the body. Pain comes out  in different places depending on the person. My had back issues when i was stuck in a job i hated with an not a very nice person of an employer who paid peanuts.

When I got out of there, my back issues went.....coincidence?

Thats when I learned the mind / body connection.

[zesty]

It’s defo true Hank. As said, doctors now ask about your metal state with many diseases and chronic issues.

But of course, Daz probably just did his back in deadlifting, if he’s feeling all good on the mental side.

I’d get back ache living in a flat in the middle of moss side. 😁
