I can relate Phil. My back likes to bite once in a while. Stretching strengthens the muscle so they can suposively hold the back in place better. Keep up the good work. I am trying to walk more so I can get back in shape or at least loose weight. -- Christ is the reason for the season. If there was not Christ. There would be no Christ-mas. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!
