Good morning Cafe. Coffee is ready.

My trip to the chiropractor was good/bad. Felt great to get the deep tissue massage and adjustment I so desperately needed but was warned that I'd likely get sore from it. Stupid me couldn't bring the cord wood inside in half batches and I lugged it inside in the usual about 40# loads and REALLY aggravated my shoulder/back. I had to support the coffee pot with my left hand to pour the water into the coffee maker and again to pour the coffee into my mug. I broke down and took 2 ibuprofen this morning.

@aart, how is your brother doing today? I hope he's feeling better soon.

A little.
The muscle knot in the back that is really causing the issue today. It needs to be released and that is going to take quite a while and hurt during the process. I need to do some heat therapy and stretching to help loosen things up again.

Learning the muscle anatomy of the back and how to stretch and strengthen the muscles that set off pinched nerves, as well as muscle pain, really helped.
Using both sides of your body for almost all activities also made a huge difference.
It's all about muscle balance, front and back, side to side.
Massage on that knot can definitely help get you back on track, but you can avoid that if you learn to balance and stretch.

Good morning!
Hugs, Cafe!
I am sucking down some coffee before horse chores this morning... book group last night... homemade Limoncello...need i say more lol

So I am back from feeding and I am glad for the wake -up coffee. Moose Mom and 2 Yearlings followed my car into the stable area this morning and while I was tossing hay to the horses, one of the yearlings peered around the barn watching me throw hay. Cute ears on those guys! Anyway, I think Mom called it back to where they were eating by the trailers and they were hanging out when I left.

Wow! That's just awesome. I would absolutely love to experience something like that! Shame you didn't have your camera ready to whip out and get a picture of the little guy.

Any info on stretches or exercises you can share?
