self employed people suffer this malady, it is not affordable. The solution:- lie full length on the bedroom carpet; arms outstretched as far as possible behind the head. Relax. Gently push one foot at a time away from your head and hold for ten seconds, with the toes pointing to the ceiling. Repeat several times. Relaxing between alternations.

Next. Draw the knees up to the waist and push the abdomen to the carpet, holding for twelve seconds. Repeat several times, maintaining abdomen pressure on the floor.

Next, rotate the bent knees to the left and right, alternately, holding the outside knee against the carpet each for ten seconds.

Next, raise one foot off the floor so that the raised knee is not supported. Place the other ankle on the un-supported knee and gently rotate the knee/ankle in the air for thirty seconds. Repeat with the other leg. This exercise also is ideal for each hip.

Next. Grip both knees with both hands and gently pull the knees towards the chest. Gently rotating the hips against the floor, feeling the soothing pressure on the base of the spine. Complete rotations both ways until the body is feeling soothed and relaxed.

Next, extend the legs vertically towards the ceiling, hold for a moment, now lower both feet to the floor, gradually, interspersed by, alternately, raising and lowering the feet, finally holding the raised feet off the ground, by approximately, six inches, and then return the feet to the floor.

Next. Rotate each foot either side of the body, leg straight, until the foot is on the opposite side of the body on the floor, with the shoulders flat on the floor throughout the rotations. Alternate approximately six times each side.

If a person is serious about their health, eight ‘press-ups’ will complete the mornings endeavours or, on hands and knees, move the back up and down, stretching the spine.

If this routine is completed five times every week, not weekends, regularly, it is guaranteed that back troubles will be either eliminated or much improved.
