Seriously, these forms of exercise promote flexibility, enhance motor control and balance, and are good for the mind and spirit. Thanks for your comments and for subscribing to my blog.

Have you recommended Tai Chi to some of your people? It's an excellent way to develop balance, coordination, some flexibility, and so on. Here's something you might find fun... I had a case of sciatica, of what I think was sciatica, which was annoying, but not debilitating in any way. I was taking excedrin for it for a long time. Eventually I went cold-turkey on the excedrin. Hurt quite nicely for a week or so and then the pain was gone! I've heard of a rebound effect for things like excedrin and I think that's true.

I had Transverse Myelitis 17 years ago. I can walk a little in the house but am not able to get out and walk. I have very poor balance also. I am sure that some of my back pain is caused from not using my muscles. I do know I have arthritis in my right buttocks and also have pain in my left hip and burning that runs down my left leg almost to my knee. Any advise you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
