crown of your head pointing straight down. top half just limp - let gravity do the work. breathe into the spots that hurt.

I don't know if it will help loosi, but those stretches are amazingly effective for tense and tired backs. nm - ralph wiggum Mar 2, 17:10 5

  - I do three positions on my back. The twist; one leg at a time straight up; and one leg at a time drawing the knee toward the chin. -- nm - mara Mar 2, 17:20
