Back issues field dressing.

[Finn16]

I have lower back issues. Kneeling is the worst for me and bending over dressing an animal is bad too. Chiropractor helps but for the past year or so I roll my back over one of those foam rollers that are about 6 inches in diameter and 2 feet long. It's enough to get the nerve from hitting on bone.

I have a bad lower back and gutting and breaking down an amimal is terrible on me as well.

I stopped going to the ciro after 15 years and started PT and there have been a world of difference for me. If the core is weak and my posture is bad my back suffers. That is what PT will focus on.

Avoid the chiro-quackters. That will only make things worse.

I am thinking of taking knee pads this year. Rocks and sticks hurt as much as bending over .I have a decent back but sometimes I do something stupid an make it angry. I have Chiro that straightens me out and it is so much better . He gave me stretchs that help to avoid further problems.
And tells me to work on core strength.
