Hi Steven-- Thanks for the reply. It is a sharp pain. I finally got a solution from one of my teachers. He says it is fairly common and is a weight distribution problem. I tried his solution, which is to keep my weight further to the left at all times. It seems to work and helps to keep the balance ...

ankle problems
My sciatica is much better tho I do sometimes get some pain as I am doing the more advanced exercises and having days with a lot of driving/riding in the car. However the one thing that is somewhat puzzeling is ankle pain and weakness. It comes on suddenly when I am dancing. Seems to happen primaril...

Thanks for you replies. Dr Will--I don't consider surgery as an option. I am a ballroom dancer and the thought of having discs fused sounds like the end to me. I don't think I would ever move properly again. I will keep an open mind with regard to other treatments. I have done accupuncture for over ...

Dr Will and Dean-- thanks for the interchange. It is all helpful. In reply to the question about whether one will continuue to do exercise--I think one will do so when you know WHAT to do and how to do it and what is at stake if you don't do it. the problem is there is too little guidance for the av...

Hi Steven- Thanks for the advice. I have figured out what causes the neck and shoulder pain--sitting. the best cure seems to be to do more standing backbends. It is amazing how simple that is. In any case I don't spend too much time at the computer since it does require sitting and it can be a real ...

making progress
It has been almost a month since I found RYB and this forum. I have been doing the basic exercises every day and find things are starting to get better each day. the pain has moved from my leg to my back and sometimes it is almost gone. I still find I need more rest than in the past but guess that i...

rolfing
Thanks Dean. I decided to just do RYB and wait for the appointment with the Dr in April. I do like massage and have been getting them regularly. I don't know that it helps the back but it helps relax the tight leg muscles and I think generally helps remove toxins from the body.

Hi Randolph-- It sounds like you have "been there" with everything going on with my bac. Thanks for the encouragement. As far as dancing goes, it is like any sport--it just takes practice, but I think every human being naturally is moved by music and our bodies want to move with it. What you see on ...

Hi Dean- You might want to call dance studios and ask if they have an open dance with drop in lesson--a lot of them do this on Fri or Sat evening. don't worry about holding anyone up. Most dancers are really glad to help newcomers (especially guys). A recent issue of the USA Dance magazine had an ar...

Thanks Dean
I am on day 5 of doing the basic exercises. I can now sit for short periods of time and my sciatica is receeding. I can't believe how mnay people that I have talked to suffer from low back pain and sciatica problems. I have referred a number to this ssite and RYB book. My family DR said no more PT o...

Has anyone had any experience with rolfing? One of my dance instructors told me it really helped her for back pain, however my family doc says definately no. she did recommend chiropractic and no physical therapy. i have decided against chiropractic since it is very expensive and comments in the for...

HI Seann- Thanks for all you messages. I am on day with the program. Like you I never had any exersies bend backwrds, and i think cobra is the key to getting better. I am still in pain but it is tolerable and I think I can handle it with the exercises without medication. I did contact a pyhsiatrist-...
