Glenn, thanks for the freebie.
My concern here is that some folks who really shouldn't do some of these exercises may assume, because they've been so great for you, that they'd be fine for them also.
Because of this concern, I am suggesting that anyone with serious back pain that stays for longer than 3 days, be seen by a physician FIRST. If the back pain is caused by undiagnosed osteoporosis, these exercises could cause additional fractures with the possibility of paralysis, for example. If they have a cyst on the spinal nerve, stenosis of the spinal canal, or extruded disks, it could exacerbate the situation seriously. Please, folks, make SURE of what you are dealing with first then exercise to your heart's content. I'm not a doctor and this is not medical advice...just the voice of experience.
