Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

There’s a book by a NZ doctor called "Treat Your Own Back". Has a set of simple exercises that for me really help if I get twinges.

Thanks I'll look it up

You've reminded me that I've got an app that walks me through easy stretch programs. I was using it right before bed a while ago and noticed a real difference but got out of the habit. I should probably pick it up again.

What's the app? I generally don't have back issues but I'd like to give it a go anyway!

[–] sortofblue 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This is it. You select which categories you want (lower back, legs etc), and how long you want to spend doing it. I just used the free version so there were a couple of ads to skip at the end but it really made a difference.

Thanks for posting this. I just started running again and need to start stretching when I'm done.

Thanks! I use DNS ad blocking so don't see ads in mobile apps anyway, I'll give it a go.
