Years ago a friend gave me a book called "Dealing with Back Pain"(I think) by Dr. John Sarno. It really helped me understand about back pain, causes and remedies. If you can find this book it is an easy read and like I said it really helped me to deal with back pain. I just Googled Dr. John Sarno and apparently he has quite a few books on dealing with chronic pain.

If you're ok with slightly alternative medicine, check out the Alexander Technique. You can do it yourself but it is much better if you can go see a teacher and have some lessons. It changed my life, I used to get a lot of lower back, neck and shoulder pain and since taking lessons I can't remember the last time I had back pain. It's all about getting the body into to it's correct shape and resting it for short periods of time in a certain position as well as moving in better ways to prevent future damage/pain. It's also helped my chronic insomnia as well as other areas such as mental health.

There's no forcing/pushing/pulling like a physio/chiro and no drugs so it's VERY LOW impact.

Here's a link for the American Society for anyone interested https://www.amsatonline.org/aws/AMSAT/pt/sp/home_page

My teacher says to me every time I see him (I'm paraphrasing slightly):

Quotewhat have you got to lose in trying something new? If it doesn't work you can always go back to way you were, and if it's better than that's excellent. If you don't try something new, how can you get change?

Thank you for your suggestion it doesn't look like there's much information here in Canada. I think once the mechanics of my back are fixed, it would definitely be great maintenance to think about . Thank you again.

Got a couple of bows ready for finish today. The recurve was a nightmare build, long story but it all started by me not double checking thickness on some lams I had on the shelf. Finally got the third set of limbs to hit poundage. Lesson learned! Both are for guys dropping poundage because of age. They both feel really good to me, might have to go down in poundage myself.

Those look awesome 4 point !

I tried to fix my pictures a couple times. It's obviously not working well for me.

Did not do anything, but found this today.

Pat B · March 27, 2023, 11:42:06 AM

Where did you find that, Bue? It is very cool. Are you in the pic?

Pat B · March 27, 2023, 12:24:30 PM

Mark, I hope you weren't adversely affected by the tornadoes in Mississippi.

Buemaker · March 27, 2023, 01:13:51 PM

Pat. I'm driving the tractor. I found the pic on one of the archery sites, can't remember which one. It is almost three hours ago now and you can't expect me to remember that long.

The tornado's were south of me and they got hammered but we had straight line winds, 1000 people without power in my area.
The ground was saturated and a lot of trees uprooted around me, I was out of power for 17 hours.

66 miles of damage
