A good stretch when your spine feels compressed - 06/22/05 10:22 PM
Hi! Does anyone have good stretching ideas for when your spine feels compressed. After I've been at the computer a long time (writing papers) or been on my feet all day cleaning up the clutter my family seems to create, etc., my spine feels like it's all crunched together. I attempt to hit up my hubby or my son for back rubs(in fact, I bribe my son with European chocolate in exchange for back rubs to the chagrin of my husband who is displeased by such currency exchange -- but hey, I think the ancient Incas used to use chocolate for currency, too!!!) but it would be good to have some other options as well.
I've been working on a mess upstairs today after having done some renovation work in our son's room (I'm trying to reorganize the storage closet and guest room in which our son and his bedroom furniture, etc. were stuffed for the 9 months of renovation -- why my hubby started a project just as the academic year was starting when he's a professor and I'm a grad student ) -- it caused quite a lot of mayhem because it was difficult to find anything, put anything away, etc. and things just got stuffed here and there in all the wrong -- really wrong -- places). Anyway, I already owe J some chocolate for a back rub yesterday . . . So, I'm thinking that I need to stretch instead.
Thanks for ideas!
