I Pulled My Back
It happened two Saturdays ago. About two hours after a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) class I started feeling a horrible pain in my lower and middle back.
So, of course I ignored it and continued going to the gym and proceeded to go to a Zenbu Ryu Jujutsu (ZRJ) on Monday and both Tae Kwon Do (TKD) and BJJ on Tuesday. By Wednesday I felt like a cripple.
I haven’t gone to the gym or done any real physical activity since then…other than the party I threw at my place on Saturday Night – which was a blast. I had 16 people over for a night of just insane fun. My back hurt so much the next day though that I was basically bed ridden all of Sunday.
Today I’m picking up my inversion table – it is a table you lay on that secures your legs and then allows you to hang completely upside down – at my parent’s house tonight. Last time I messed up my back I recovered by using the table every day for a week and doing Yoga. Hopefully it works again.
Below is a picture of an inversion table:

My parents have one of those! I don’t live nearby so I’ve not seen it, just heard about it. I hope your back gets better soon.
Good luck with the back….yoga works wonders, doesn’t it? Do you have insurance–meaning can you go to a chiropractor? Also, I adore Tiger Balm when my back is acting up.
Ouch! Hope it is better by now. My son is taking BJJ. Also a friend of our’s daughter has a black belt in it – she beat everyone she ever fought against – even the men! Take care and take care of that back!
Is that you on the inversion table… wow those things are awesome
