Lower back pain’s with me for decades – probably related to a lifelong love of road cycling that I’m never giving up. Have done PT (physical therapy). Big help. Just started Bikram yoga (hot yoga) with my daughter, Caroline, right after Christmas at Soulstice, Westborough, MA, and already seeing positive results after 10 session (I can put socks on comfortably from a standing position in the morning).
