Guest guest Report post Posted April 3, 2007 hi zappy , to explain further. im way past 21 and along the way i have collected a twisted spine , herniated discs and all sorts of baggage as well as losing my tummy muscles!I even started life with knock knees , balance issues etc from birth trauma. The effort to stand straight with level shoulders is ongoing and the attention required to sit with straight back without pain also challenging . Actually if you look at the tibetan set of exercises its possible to use chairs , resistance bands and so on to stop overstrain as after just a couple of some i feel im overdoing .I use the band round my feet to lower my legs rather than drop them and the chair to practise swinging through in that inverted v posture . Im not complaining however , im sure being older will have its compensations...well i hope im going to make steady progress.I have to say i can see improvement over the last 7 years which is better than the previous 7 which were rather difficult .Guess i was not listening to the inner voice until pain forced me by which time i was not just a collapsed s shape but also twisted with raised left shoulder . Imagine a lightning blasted tree and that about covers it ! So im glad to be here and know chrism will gently guide me towards my goalpost if i work hard .I am glad to see others also overcoming difficulties . love elizabeth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
