When I was a chef I spent ten to fourteen hours a day on my feet bent at the neck. Every few months I would have back spasms pull something was almost to the point of physical therapy per my Doc. He was trying to get me to take almost 2000mg of Ibuprofin a day( F that!!!) and would prescribe me muscle relaxers and other pills I wouldn't take.I would take 800mg Ibu do the heat pad and plug in massager and deal with it. I had major sleep issues and basically slow creaky mornings.
Now just like when I was dredging full time before the ban. I go to bed tired fall right asleep and wake up feeling great. Even though I spend a decent amount of time digging, putting in fence working my 1/8 acre veggie garden and other various chores around the property cutting brush and clearing etc.
I feel great every morning and haven't had a back episode for almost three years. Since I stopped running kitchens.
