Commit to start this year by actively dealing with your back pain.
I've had lower back pain for many years and tried many methods to try and solve it. I've tried stretching, physio, chiropractor, osteopath, etc.
It's only in the last year I've managed to find a solution that has reduced my pain dramatically and given me the strength and confidence to move and bend my lower back and becoming more functional. This only took me to buy one piece of equipment.
I'm willing to swap my experience and let you try this equipment for free (if you're local enough), in exchange for whatever skill you have to swap in return. If you're not in a position to swap skills at the moment, I'll just help you out and take a rain cheque. :-)
