As we age we develop problems with memory and mobility. Years ago I had problem with my lower back and X-rays showed severe bony changes and degeneration. I am a retired 93 year old physician. Since my retirement almost 17 years ago, every single day I do my exercises in the shower using real hot water I can stand. I bend down and touch my feet 30 times, 100 partial sit-ups (last 10 full crouch) while waters is running on my lower back, 50 flexions and 50 extensions, and 30 abductions and adductions while the hot water is running on my lateral hips and pelvis. This is followed by completely cold water even in winters. I haven't had back pain and no problem in mobility at all. One has to develop one's own method. I also climb up and down 2 sets of staircases in my house, which is also a great exercise. For memory, I use the UA-cam to learn something new every day. I am pretty active!
I wonder if new brain pain science can study ways for individuals to reset there brains chronic back triggers so that felt pain is more in line with normal spinal intrusion sensations so that additional physical activity can be tolerated without the use of pain medications etc.
