Hey folks,

As I have mentioned in a separate post, I have a bad back brought on by a congenital condition (my L-5 never fused correctly, so I have a crispy shell with a gooey center).  For years, I've been trying to find the Silver Bullet exercise or stretch.

I believe I have finally found it:  Tread water for 10 minutes as many times a week as you can.

Honestly, the results have been tremendous and incredible.  Not only has it helped strengthen my back muscles, but also it has helped strengthen the rest of my core, arms, legs, and (this surprised me) neck.  And obviously it is as low-impact an exercise as you are ever going to find.

Anyway, just thought I would pass it on.  I'm able to go to the gym by my office and get in a "complete" workout in about 30 minutes.

If you've got back pain and are looking for something new, I can't recommend this highly enough.

Great news @ztexz .  My mother was a physical therapist would did warm pool therapy with patients with all kinds of issues.  It can really help out.  I did knee and shoulder exercises in the pool after my surgery.  Definitely a big help.

Glad you found something that helps. I have a PT appointment April 1, and my doctor also recommended aqua PT.

    • I am in the market to buy a new or mint+ used driver. I am a high handicap player that usually uses Regular Flex Men's 10.5 degrees and I golf right handed. I can't shot shape the ball and have trouble always hitting the ball in the center of the face and it usually goes off to the right and out of play. I am trying to hit straight all the time so I can hit more fairways, also on off center shots I would like the ball to be in play so I don't sacrifice strokes all the time. I usually look for forgiveness, distance a little distance lost is ok if I am hitting more fairways then that is what i want, adjustable or non adjustable is fine, price is also a factor around 100 but under 300. I also need help getting the ball in the ball in the air and going higher. Any recommendations or other help when buying a driver are welcome and thanks
