I'm trying the I refuse to get old method, but Mother Nature isn't helping.
Looking for a suggestions particularly from those more "experienced" (nice term for old ___), that have back issues and how you deal with them when working with wood.
About 6 years ago I went down for over a year with a disk and sciatic issue. Finally got back on my feet and have been cutting, though not to the extent that I would like. Anyway, before I start and when I finish, I stretch my back and legs as the physical therapist taught me. I try not to overdo it in terms of lifting and bending, but hey there's only so much you can do.
Anybody else care to share some helpful hints or practices they use to keep from getting laid up with back issues.
