I'm a senior now and due to chronic back pain, I don't move much now but I have always been very active until now. Sadly, I have gained weight I have never carried before and I must push through to find me again. Through loss of all of my family and depression, I choose to fight. Thank you for this! God Bless You.
Same with me car accident oct 2019 then health issue almost killed me then my husband passed away so I been in a wheelchair for over 3 years so it’s been a rough one but I’m ready to walk just don’t know how to go about it if if I can my hip is stuck and I can stand straight up anymore
Oh I understand about weight, loss of family. I am with you on pushing through stay strong. I’m going to lift you in prayer my friend starting right now. Father, I loose a miracle for my friend, determination like you’ve given me when I asked. Give her back abundant Joy, health, peace, a healthy self love. And a relationship with you Dear Lord that’s like none other. God Richly Bless You my friend.❤🎉😊
I've just started doing your yoga classes. I've been doing yoga for 5 yrs and being 73 was finding studio classes not really to my liking and couldn't get the teacher I liked at the classes I attended. I decided to give your classes a go. I have loved every one I have done, which makes me want to do a class every morning, mostly 30 mins. I was worried that I would not be disciplined enough to stick to it but I have and look forward to a new one every morning. I walk for an hour every morning at 5.30am so by 8.30 my body is ready to do whatever class I choose. Kassandra thank you so much for your great classes and being a pensioner the free classes are much appreciated. I live in Darwin, Australia.
I have been doing 2 of your online yoga classes every day for 8-10 weeks. OMG I have no hip pain at all at night or anytime during the day. I was never an exercise person but if I can't commit to a half hour a day at age 66 years old in retirement then I have an issue. Thank you so much Kassandra . I will at some point get my hips off the chair can feel I am much stronger and love the twists.
Thank you so much. I’m 89 years old, a recent widow, and I am recovering from a mild stroke. These exercises are going to help me both physically and mentally. I’ll watch you every day.
I’m a paraplegic who was an avid enthusiast prior to my injury, 42 years ago. I can’t do a couple of the moves in your video, so I just adapt and do what I can. Thank you so much for the video. I feel energized!
Kathy, Thats amazing!! Keep it up!😁 My name is Angie. I have Multiple Sclerosis so my symptoms come and go. I have had it since 1989...i am in a relapse now and yoga seems to help.😊thanks for your video!!😁
been taking a part of chair yoga with Kassandra ever since I was introduced to your video. I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis after completing Yoga DVD' s . I had all ready been involved with yoga The lead up to Chair Yoga involved a fall. I was exiting a vehicle when II was sent to a
Hi Kassandra, Thank you so much for putting this FREE chair yoga on line. I hope I'm right in saying everyone who is stuck not able to get out and do things and are motivated to at least try and get fit will appreciate your kindness and support. Especially as your giving it freely. God bless you namasta 🙏
Great routine. I'm 67 and have been doing this every day now for the last week. I can feel it really improving my flexibility, especially in my lower back and hips.
I'm 74 and have strength and balance issues so chair yoga is a wonderful way to improve my flexibility without having to get on the floor since getting up and down is challenging right now. The chair yoga gives me a boost of energy in the morning!
Thank you for this video. I am 59 and work from home and I do not get any type of exercise. Figured this would be a good start and I didn't realize HOW out of shape I was until I did your class thinking it would be really easy and it wasn't BUT I loved it!!
My daughter has been encouraging me to try yoga for years. I tried just a few times and found it so frustrating but then realized the yoga I was going to with a friend was way above my level as a beginner and a senior. I'm 67 years old and just today found your channel and tried the chair yoga. I never realized how out of shape I was until I finished this! It looks so easy when you do it but I can barely move my arms and legs in these positions. I did get frustrated initially but stuck with it and I can really feel a difference. I'm sure I'll feel it even more tomorrow when I wake up but I will keep at it. Will get to it again tomorrow morning - thank you so much. If I can do what you do in this video I will feel really accomplished. Shouldn't take me more than a year or so LOL
I'm 70 years old, and recovering from a severe injury to the vestibular nerve in my left inner ear, which led to serious balance issues. Along with physical therapy, this chair yoga class has been very helpful for regaining my balance, flexibility and strength. Thanks, Kassandra!
So excited to discover this particular video. I am a retired Holistic RN, 77 years young & am bringing this video and class to my UU Forum discussion/community. I believe this will be a wonderful gift for them.
I have a chronic autoimmune disease that has created pain and issues preventing me from regular yoga. After an unexpected surgery this winter I found this video and continue my practice daily. Thank you for sharing this wonderfully gentle practice with those in need.
I have watched many yoga videos and this is the best for me. Kassandra takes me through the exercises so slowly I can keep up learn the proper technique.
I am a dancer and yoga teacher that has a fracture in my foot, and I am so grateful there is chair yoga for me to do while I heal. Such a blessing. Thank you for all you do, Kassie!
I'm 76 and started doing yoga 20 years ago. I had total hip replacement 6 weeks ago and started doing chair yoga this week to help loosen up and strengthen muscles I haven't been able to use for almost three months. I would love to see more chair yoga classes. I enjoyed this one very much.
Yes, more chair yoga for us experienced yogis who have injuries. I hurt my knee and am trying to resist doing my usual yoga practice. This is a great in-between so I can still do my daily yoga but also protect my knee from further injury. Thanks!
In the past 16 months, I've had a shoulder replacement, carpal tunnel surgery on both wrists and a femur fracture and meniscus tear. Plus I turned 65, so I was very nervous about doing many movements and this has been a great way to regain some flexibility in a safe way. Thank you!
This was amazing! I'm in my late 30's but disabled. I had back surgery and then a difficult pregnancy so it's been hard to get back to fitness. I felt amazing after this. I've never tried chair yoga but loved this thanks for creating ❤What a great way to energize to start the day, beat the afternoon slump or feel relaxed before bed
I really enjoyed this, thank you✨️👩🌾 I'm retired but work part-time as a middle/high-school lunchlady. I've done yoga since my 20's on and off. Your class was exactly what I needed. I get plenty of lifting(!) reaching and running at work.. I love this gentle version of old familiars.. refreshing and therapeutic 🧘♀️
Wow, this a bit of a work out. First time I am trying this. It was recommended to me by a friend of mine as I espressed to her that I needed to find some chair exercises to do. Just to begin to do something. Just for info, I am a big guy at 65 years with knee issues. So doing what I used to do it is not feasible at this time. So I am walking my way back to health with different options. Like this chair yoga. I did as much as I could. I will continue to do this and see how it works for me. Thank you for setting this up.
Thank you so much for your video. As an RA /OA patient with a torn meniscus injured knee you offer me a wonderful way to get my joints moving safely. Thanks again.
I'm turning 71 tomorrow and new to chair yoga. This was a great video! I am in desperate need of muscle strength and flexibility. I look forward to seeing your videos! I just subscribed!
I’m a 70 widow and since my husband died I haven’t been motivated by anything and I gained 45 pounds over the past 3 years. I needed Something that I could do with my severe back problems. I have yet another surgery coming up in December so I wanted to at least get back some muscle tone. Your workout is really good. The only thing I can’t do is spread my legs out to the side but I’m going to work on it! Thank you 🤗
Thanks so much for this chair yoga session. I’ve been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Prior to my disability, I was a runner and dancer. I’ve been advised now to be gentle with my body through gentle walks and yoga. This is a great start for me.
Maria, I too have fibromyalgia, I am 60 and I can tell you yoga every day has really, really helped me both with pain control and strengthening muscles. Good luck! :)
I was really surprised by how much of a stretch I was able to really get while in the chair! Thank you so much for this, I have funky knees. I appreciate you ❤
Had mouth surgery and the doctor recommended me to avoid looking down, or taking poses with my head low. I truly needed some stretching and this really helped (normally I follow daily beginner/intermediate videos from Kassandra). Of course I avoided folding but at least I could do some poses and my body is really grateful for it. Thank you Kassandra ❤️
Thank you for this video content, Kassandra! I am recovering from a stubborn upper respiratory infection, and appreciate being able to do more gentle yoga practices like this. ❤
I do a lot of your “regular” classes already, but as someone with a chronic illness that causes pain and fatigue I really appreciate you making this class! I love your yin routines for pain management and I could see this also being a great gentle routine for days when I don’t feel so hot.
I am 80 and knee problems have limited my usual daily walks. I loved this video.It provides much more exercise than I would have imagined. Thank you so very much.
I am 74, 75 in May and took my first Chair Yoga class on Monday. This class is great for me to do for days before my next Monday class. Thanks so much!
These chair yoga moves are similar to the class I used to attend. I feel comfortable and confident in doing these as they are familiar. It's great I can do it online in my own time too!
Thank you. This is wonderful. Might join in with the program further on, but the wake up of my muscles is already very encouraging with this. I am a 69-year-old spine-fused woman with a drop foot and just could never do yoga again so thank you.
Thank you so much. I have gained so much weight and have lost mobility but this program is wonderful. I could not finish day 1 but day 2, I was able to finish. 😃
This was a great yoga class for one who has had surgeries arthritis.no dangerous moves and for senior who did yoga for many earlier years getting back to gentle movements explained very well.glad I found you will do daily.
Love the chair yoga, great while I am working at my desk. It is a wonderful way to incorporate it into my day. It is also helpful since I broke a toe, it is healing but I am fearful of regular yoga. Thank you for introducing me to yoga. More beginner chair yoga please!!!
Thank you. This was just what I needed. I’m 72 years old and am healing from breaking both bones in my right,dominant, wrist. I’m heading to buy your chair yoga program-Claudia
I just started doing Yoga. My work is offering free classes twice a month so I thought why not try it. I am really liking it and your video is fantastic. Thank you for creating this video. All I can say is if you have ever wanted to try Yoga and think you can't; I am here to say yes you can. I am 64, overweight and this is the best way to introduce yourself into an exercise program.
Love the chair yoga to do for a change. When you're not feeling like you have a lot of flexibility for the day, this is great! Please do more of these just to mix it up a bit.
I had used a yoga app for several years and while never getting beyond a beginner level, I was able to do all of the poses. Due to new health challenges, I am no longer able to do yoga on the mat/floor. I have switched to chair yoga and purchased your class on Udemy and have really enjoyed it. For the past month I have been unable to exercise and now need shorter sessions than the 30 minute classes. This video is perfect for where I am now. I would appreciate additional beginner chair yoga classes on RUclips that are less than 30 minutes. Thank you Kassandra.
This was awesome! I injured my knee 2 in half years ago. The physical therapy didn't help much. I'm 54 now and have gained so much weight and dieting isn't in my motivation right now. I think this yoga is really going to help me change my life. I already feel invigorated after doing the excersizes in this video today. Thank you! 🙏
I am limited to traditional yoga due to knee injuries and an arthritic foot. Chair yoga is an excellent alternative and provides me with healthy stretches and renewed flexibility. Thank you for making these classes available to people like me.
Just wanted to say a huge thank you! I’ve had 5 major abdominal/spinal surgeries in recent years. (A 6th one due in the next few months). I’ve been trying to get back to doing yoga and pilates stretches to recover my fitness but have found even previously simple stretches a challenge. This chair yoga session was so manageable and it felt great to finally achieve some really active stretches. I plan to do these daily between now and the next surgery to help strengthen my core muscles and then resume them as soon as I’m able post surgery. Hopefully in time I’ll be able to get back to doing regular yoga and pilates sessions. In the meantime completing a productive exercise session has felt empowering.
Thank you so much for this. I'm 57 and have been working out for years. I practiced yoga and ironically got a shoulder injury. I'm on the mend from a back injury from pickleball (stereotypical 😅) and heard about chair yoga. This lesson is great and I'm going to continue doing it and probably more. It's the only stretching that hasn't hurt my back. Thanks!
I have wanted to get back into yoga for some time now but have found kneeling poses impossible due to a knee replacement. I’m glad I found this video and would be interested in others that have been adapted for those with knee replacements.
This is a great class for rehab from surgery, as I am needing at this time. I enjoy your style, Kassandra....not too many cues to overwhelm or irritate the experience. Your authenticity shines bright! TY ❤❤❤
Thank you Kassandra, this is a beautiful and gentle practice, and so restorative. I really love the way that you hold such and open and kind space. Have a serene day
I've never done any yoga before but my legs and back are super tight and a fair few people have told me to try Yoga... and this definitely was tough for me but it was a great way of getting some stretching out. Thank you for posting this!
This is my go to practice when I haven't done yoga in a while. It really helps me understand where my body is at and what I should be working on/towards. As always thank you so much for the wonderful content, I hope all is well and Java recovers quickly. :)
Thank you..you are always an inspiration ! Would love to see more chair yoga..so many people are unable to be at their senior centers right now to do chair yoga and other wellness programs !
Hi, I did yoga for many years until a back injury forced me to finish. I love this session, and so easy to do. I'm feeling stretched and managed to lift myself a few cms off the chair on my left side. I find it makes it easier to follow if I reverse the sides, i.e. when Kassandra says right, I go left iso that I can follow the movements on the screen. Thank you Kassandra.
This was amazing - I know it's an older video but I'd love to see more of them. This was just perfect for someone who hasn't really moved their body in years - thank you!
👁 COULD FEEL YOUR EXUBERANCE, "&&&" IT'S AMAZING, "&&&" 👁 CAN DIG IT!!!!!!! 👁'M STARTING AGAIN, as well, "&&&" THIS VIDEO IS SOME FEEL GOOD!!!🤗😏🤗!!!😏!!!🤗😏🤗!!!
This is a great class. I have a recent knee injury and have missed my full body yoga, and this chair yoga really helps release energy. I’ll be back for more!
I love the idea of chair yoga. It offers such a good support for those less mobile, my gran does chair yoga and she loves it. Thanks again for providing constant inspiration on my own RUclips yoga journey. You guys give me confidence to keep posting!
Thank you so much, Kassandra! I loved these chair yoga exercises! I love yoga and introducing such an important exercise with a great chair for all ages is fabulous! Thank you so, so much!
I love the chair yoga, Kassandra. Thank you for caring to older people that have balance issues. I will progress to the chair standing poses as I get stronger.
I cant wait to do this. a friend shared your page wit me. I used to be 150lbs and worked out hard, so hard I am 40 with arthritis so bad in my knees it hurts to move. I have permanent damage to my tendons in my wrists, fractured my tailbone 5 times, and have complications from a broken ankle. I also have COPD. Im trying to work out again so I look forward to your videos. I am 300lbs now and looing to be 150 by december 2021
I am recovering from foot surgery and am still in the non-weight-bearing stage. This video and others like it have helped me stay active with limited mobility. I appreciate it so much. It has helped me mentally, emotionally, and physically.
As a Yoga teacher, I loved the sequencing of this Chair Yoga class. I'll be back teaching this class soon and I just needed a good refresher. Well done!
I'm healing after a knee surgery and this is exactly what I needed. I can't bend my left knee so I had to adjust some poses so they worked for me. Thank you so much for posting this.
I am almost 70! It's been only the 3rd time I've done yoga with you! I am much less stiff when I start walking after a long drive! And my back feels so good! Thank you so much!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you! Chair yoga was suggested to my mom who’s under going chemo for centering and clarity. I’ve also done your 30 Day Morning Challenge. Thank you!
I've been doing your morning 10 minutes yoga stretches and 15 minute gentle flow routines now for four weeks. Unfortunately, I had a fall on a slippery patio two days ago, so I've just started doing your chair yoga as I can't go on my knee. Thank you so much. It's really helping my mindset in the morning and getting my body thing 😊
44 and rehabbing a double knee injury and this is by far the best I’ve ever found online so far, I love how much detail and understanding of pain and modification you are aware of with gentle posture attention in the midst of each vinyasa and it feels like I’m in class with you in person. Thank you for this gift, as a former athletic trainer I am impressed and look forward to supporting the channel and program

an MD - Brian. The cause of the injury was ' wear & tear'. Thank you Kassandra for being a part of my life?
Thank you for this program. I am 81 years old, and have been enjoying it, since Covid cancellation of classes! Love it!

My wife is so happy she found this, she does the routine twice before bed and is able to sleep. 🙂

Much-needed flow in the airport before my 14-hour flight! Thanks Kassandra 😄

Please more chair yoga!!!! I’m a senior and recovering from Covid that made me a bit weak! I love the chair yoga and love your channel!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

This was a great yoga class for one who has had surgeries arthritis.no dangerous moves and for senior who did yoga for many earlier years getting back to gentle movements explained very well.glad I found you will do daily.
Perfect for my 96year old mom! Love that all moves can be performed in a chair.
Love the chair yoga, great while I am working at my desk. It is a wonderful way to incorporate it into my day. It is also helpful since I broke a toe, it is healing but I am fearful of regular yoga. Thank you for introducing me to yoga. More beginner chair yoga please!!!
Thank you. This was just what I needed. I’m 72 years old and am healing from breaking both bones in my right,dominant, wrist. I’m heading to buy your chair yoga program-Claudia
Loving your videos. Working with seniors who need movement, chair yoga and the opportunity to enhance neuroplasticity! Thank you so much.
I just started doing Yoga. My work is offering free classes twice a month so I thought why not try it. I am really liking it and your video is fantastic. Thank you for creating this video. All I can say is if you have ever wanted to try Yoga and think you can't; I am here to say yes you can. I am 64, overweight and this is the best way to introduce yourself into an exercise program.
Love the chair yoga to do for a change. When you're not feeling like you have a lot of flexibility for the day, this is great! Please do more of these just to mix it up a bit.
I had used a yoga app for several years and while never getting beyond a beginner level, I was able to do all of the poses. Due to new health challenges, I am no longer able to do yoga on the mat/floor. I have switched to chair yoga and purchased your class on Udemy and have really enjoyed it. For the past month I have been unable to exercise and now need shorter sessions than the 30 minute classes. This video is perfect for where I am now. I would appreciate additional beginner chair yoga classes on RUclips that are less than 30 minutes. Thank you Kassandra.
Thank you! That was great! I’m 76 and my back has been hurting. That made it feel better!
This was awesome! I injured my knee 2 in half years ago. The physical therapy didn't help much. I'm 54 now and have gained so much weight and dieting isn't in my motivation right now. I think this yoga is really going to help me change my life. I already feel invigorated after doing the excersizes in this video today. Thank you! 🙏
I feel the same. My body felt stronger, and my breathing was so much better.
Thank you kassandra for helping me everyday with my chronic pain ! I would love to see a yin yoga video especially for scoliosis ! ❤️
I am limited to traditional yoga due to knee injuries and an arthritic foot. Chair yoga is an excellent alternative and provides me with healthy stretches and renewed flexibility. Thank you for making these classes available to people like me.
Just wanted to say a huge thank you! I’ve had 5 major abdominal/spinal surgeries in recent years. (A 6th one due in the next few months). I’ve been trying to get back to doing yoga and pilates stretches to recover my fitness but have found even previously simple stretches a challenge. This chair yoga session was so manageable and it felt great to finally achieve some really active stretches. I plan to do these daily between now and the next surgery to help strengthen my core muscles and then resume them as soon as I’m able post surgery. Hopefully in time I’ll be able to get back to doing regular yoga and pilates sessions. In the meantime completing a productive exercise session has felt empowering.
Thank you so much for this. I'm 57 and have been working out for years. I practiced yoga and ironically got a shoulder injury. I'm on the mend from a back injury from pickleball (stereotypical 😅) and heard about chair yoga. This lesson is great and I'm going to continue doing it and probably more. It's the only stretching that hasn't hurt my back. Thanks!
It's good you found something that works for you. That's what I like about yoga, there's always something anybody can do. 😃
I have wanted to get back into yoga for some time now but have found kneeling poses impossible due to a knee replacement. I’m glad I found this video and would be interested in others that have been adapted for those with knee replacements.
This is a great class for rehab from surgery, as I am needing at this time. I enjoy your style, Kassandra....not too many cues to overwhelm or irritate the experience. Your authenticity shines bright! TY ❤❤❤
Thank you Kassandra, this is a beautiful and gentle practice, and so restorative. I really love the way that you hold such and open and kind space. Have a serene day
I've never done any yoga before but my legs and back are super tight and a fair few people have told me to try Yoga... and this definitely was tough for me but it was a great way of getting some stretching out. Thank you for posting this!
This is my go to practice when I haven't done yoga in a while. It really helps me understand where my body is at and what I should be working on/towards. As always thank you so much for the wonderful content, I hope all is well and Java recovers quickly. :)
My New Years resolution!,Never done yoga,highly recommended! Since I’m 76 years old the chair yoga seems perfect for me to start.
Thank you..you are always an inspiration ! Would love to see more chair yoga..so many people are unable to be at their senior centers right now to do chair yoga and other wellness programs !
Hi, I did yoga for many years until a back injury forced me to finish. I love this session, and so easy to do. I'm feeling stretched and managed to lift myself a few cms off the chair on my left side. I find it makes it easier to follow if I reverse the sides, i.e. when Kassandra says right, I go left iso that I can follow the movements on the screen. Thank you Kassandra.
This is a great yoga for chair bound people. She is calming and has s great routine.! Csssandra is terrific.
More chair yoga, please! Currently dealing with an injury, and it’s so great to still be able to keep up with my yoga practice.
This was amazing - I know it's an older video but I'd love to see more of them. This was just perfect for someone who hasn't really moved their body in years - thank you!
👁 COULD FEEL YOUR EXUBERANCE, "&&&" IT'S AMAZING, "&&&" 👁 CAN DIG IT!!!!!!!
👁'M STARTING AGAIN, as well, "&&&" THIS VIDEO IS SOME FEEL GOOD!!!🤗😏🤗!!!😏!!!🤗😏🤗!!!
This is a great class. I have a recent knee injury and have missed my full body yoga, and this chair yoga really helps release energy. I’ll be back for more!
I love the idea of chair yoga. It offers such a good support for those less mobile, my gran does chair yoga and she loves it. Thanks again for providing constant inspiration on my own RUclips yoga journey. You guys give me confidence to keep posting!
Thank you so much, Kassandra! I loved these chair yoga exercises! I love yoga and introducing such an important exercise with a great chair for all ages is fabulous! Thank you so, so much!
Thanks
I love the chair yoga, Kassandra. Thank you for caring to older people that have balance issues. I will progress to the chair standing poses as I get stronger.
I cant wait to do this. a friend shared your page wit me. I used to be 150lbs and worked out hard, so hard I am 40 with arthritis so bad in my knees it hurts to move. I have permanent damage to my tendons in my wrists, fractured my tailbone 5 times, and have complications from a broken ankle. I also have COPD. Im trying to work out again so I look forward to your videos. I am 300lbs now and looing to be 150 by december 2021
Thanks!
I am recovering from foot surgery and am still in the non-weight-bearing stage. This video and others like it have helped me stay active with limited mobility. I appreciate it so much. It has helped me mentally, emotionally, and physically.
As a Yoga teacher, I loved the sequencing of this Chair Yoga class. I'll be back teaching this class soon and I just needed a good refresher. Well done!
Thanks a lot! Just with a knee injury and found this! Already bought your class, this made my day. Namasté 🙏🧡
I’ve been sedentary for so long. Thank you for this video. I feel so much more flexible.
Thanks so far one of the best chair yoga videos I have seen that explains in details how to do the posses. This is working for me after a knee injury.
I your class. I am 73, looking for resistance stretches and this feels like it works. Thank you
I’m 65. I’ve fallen multiple times r/t strokes. I love yoga and this is so much easier on my legs. Ty.
I'm healing after a knee surgery and this is exactly what I needed. I can't bend my left knee so I had to adjust some poses so they worked for me. Thank you so much for posting this.
I am almost 70!
It's been only the 3rd time I've done yoga with you!
I am much less stiff when I start walking after a long drive! And my back feels so good!
Thank you so much!!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for your peaceful, calm, intelligent "tone". Love your chair yoga!
Thank you! Chair yoga was suggested to my mom who’s under going chemo for centering and clarity. I’ve also done your 30 Day Morning Challenge. Thank you!
Love this routine. I have lupus and arthritis but I find these gentle poses make me feel better and help me stay a bit more mobile .
I've been doing your morning 10 minutes yoga stretches and 15 minute gentle flow routines now for four weeks. Unfortunately, I had a fall on a slippery patio two days ago, so I've just started doing your chair yoga as I can't go on my knee.
Thank you so much. It's really helping my mindset in the morning and getting my body thing 😊
Thank you, I just started today. I had a very similar experience trying to take a class in person. This really works and super easy to follow!
44 and rehabbing a double knee injury and this is by far the best I’ve ever found online so far, I love how much detail and understanding of pain and modification you are aware of with gentle posture attention in the midst of each vinyasa and it feels like I’m in class with you in person. Thank you for this gift, as a former athletic trainer I am impressed and look forward to supporting the channel and program
I like her direction for seniors. Really hoping this helps with my back problems.
