Amanda! Take care of yourself this week. Hot baths, gentle stretches, some walking and slow waist hooping with a nice big hoop. The first day is mainly classroom so you have until Friday to recover. That's doable.

Just don't go trying anything new!

Mond, get well soon! Like Sue says, plenty of gentle stretches and rest should do it.

Hope to meet you on Thurs! :o)

Sorry to hear about your poorly back! I can sympathise, I hurt my back begining of last week, was I doing anything interesting like dancing when I hurt it? No! Just shooing my woofums off of the sofa! I had a show and classes to teach so I was mighty relieved that it was the final classes and I could hoop jam and take more of a back seat, performance went surprisingly! A little dose of Dr Theatre! Actually the hoop was very gentle on me (20mm very large hoop!) although I don't recommend overuse if you can rest, I had committments and had been paid for the classes and as money is tight I had to do it! I did see an osteo, dose up with pain killers, hot wheat bags on my back, stretches, hot baths and alexander technique! Back is well on the way to being happier and I'm truly wishing yours is too! You've had some great advice so enjoy the rest and recuperation. Go to your doctor and request some physio, especially if this is the first time you have hurt you back, sometimes if the injury is fresh it maybe a little easier to resolve! Looking forward to meeting and learning with you on HG training! :o)
