It was slightly embarrassing, as she had to watch them lift up and this took several attempts using mind control. But it worked. Once mastered, she said the technique can be applied to give pain relief on long drives at the side of the road or anywhere, in case the back went into spasm etc, She left the NHS to go and live in Australia. I never forget her kindness, her red hair, her freckled face and the Pilates 
Pilates, the testicle lift, anyone tried it?
It’s good hear Ian you are on the mend. |
Afternoon Phil, I went on back rehabilitation & pain management courses but nothing along the lines of self levelling testicles!
I found some of the exercises just impossible to do and still do to this day, it's like a catch 22 situation where you're damned if you do and damned if you don't.
I've just been in a hot bath for over an hour and my back is feeling much better at this moment.
