If this is your case, you are so correct. Most lumbar problems, including low back fatigue, start way before any serious problems and it often begins with the loss of thorasic alignment. As these joints loose their alignment the rest of the spine must respond causing potential problems; also for the neck. The thing that I most often like to share, and that you already get, is that by creating and maintaining proper posture, alignment, you will eliminate most of the problems that are blamed on the golf game. Once a structure begins to degenerate it will continue to do so unless it is interrupted. Imagine a porch pillar that is cracked but not demolished. It may not look so great but it seems to still do the job. Over time the piller will continue to degrade and the porch will lean and eventually the connection to the house will cause dire consequenes to the primary structure. (Obviously I used to referbish houses). The body is no different. One seeming ignorable problem leads to the real problems. Their easier to fix in the short run than after the whole physical structure has been impacted. By catching this at a young age you will avoid many symptoms associated with the aging process and your favorite sport. Send me that picture and let me know what you have been doing in your fitness. This will allow me to help you. It's a bit hard remotely and I usually ask more questions once your initial imformation is shared. We have to find the imbalances and go from there. Look forward to hearing from you. Vickie Last edited by Vickie : 02-26-2007 at 08:12 PM. Vickie View Public Profile Send a private message to Vickie Visit Vickie's homepage! Find all posts by Vickie
