Yoga and back pain?

Strappie · 02-22-2011, 09:22 PM

I've had low back issues since I was a Junior in High School. My Doctor says it's a little genetic and also years of playing softball and football. Another doctor told me I had the back of a 60 yr old man when I was 3o. YIKES! But really how does he know that?? Some days it feels like I'm 80. But I also work a very physical job so trying to strengthen it seems like it will make it worse.

I have a lot of friends that do yoga and they all love it. However they don't have back issue's so I figured it wouldn't do anything for me. After hearing everyone specially Thinker. I just may have to look into this.

Thank you for the info!
