Glowingwillow,

They don't sound like silly questions at all and I too look forward to reading answers, not that I have that problem at all.

I have no idea if this would help, but mb promotes doing a body rub every day, maybe even twice a day. If you can't find info on it in books or on the net, ask again and I'll cc some posts that were written on a different discussion group. My understanding is that the skin is the largest organ in our bodies and this helps the skin to detox and I'm sure other reasons. I also heard that the rub in the a.m. helps to awaken you and the one in the p.m. helps with sleep issues - interesting, no??

as for exercises, just seems there must be other things you can do that would not be injurious to your back (and hopefully also your back will heal with time from mb). Mb is all about dealing gently with your body, so I couldn't see pushing stuff that would hurt you. How about just deep breathing exercises, or using parts of your body that would not affect your back - I'm no expert but just seems there's so many parts to our bodies, true they're all connected - which would be an interesting thing to know from someone who's an expert in chakras - which part of the body would help support healing for your back - there's reflexology which claims the bottom of the foot affects all parts of the body - ditto with the ear and I believe also with the hand - must be info out there that could help.

Hope that info comes down your path. Happy healing.
