 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi
I have on-going lower back problems ( wear and tear) which impact on my ability to get fit pre skiing. However ive jsut had a fab week skiing and suffered no back pain or stiffness! One day back in the office at my desk and I'm suffering again. With this in mind im wondering if the expensive ski edge equipment may be an answer to keeping my back supple and pain free.I have a concept rowing machine but Rowing is very dodgy for backs. Any suggestions?? many thanks Fiona

@fionashield, have you been to a physio?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@fionashield, maybe you need some ergonomic advice about your office desk (e.g. needing a foot rest, if you have fairly short legs).
I'd go and see a good physio and get some exercises for your lower back and do them all the time. I have a series I do before getting out of bed in the morning but with backs, it's best to get specific skilled advice rather than look on the internet.
I'm sure you could do the job without an expensive skiers edge machine - though it might be fun to have one.
Or maybe you just need another ski holiday!

@fionashield, ok, I thought you were asking for suggestions for exercise. Perhaps if you change your thread title to something like "Is the skiers edge good for keeping the back supple" it might attract people who have experience of it

Not sure the skiers edge is your answer.
Increase cardio vascular fitness
Plenty of strengthening and toning of trunk muscles.
Have a look at you workstation
Chiro may help you get out of trouble when it flares but the don't all offer a preventative program of ongoing strength work hence I'm with the others on suggesting physio ( who specialises in backs)
