stretch

When I told Adam how badly my lower back has been hurting, he helped me stretch it out, and then he picked me up and cracked my back -- something that has not been done in ages. I bonelessly slid to the floor, ecstatically drugged with the thrill of my spine finally unfolding and realigning. Adam is an amazing back-cracker. His methods make me

That one quarter is very important. :D

Absolutely! *G*

An interesting bit of trivia; you are taller in the morning than you are in the evening because when you sleep in the prone position your spine stretches slightly. The effect is more pronounced in some people but there is a measurable difference.

I found that out recently, but I never really believed it in my case. But it does make sense, because the more the day goes on, the more my back hurts -- and the smaller I feel. The fact that stretching out my spine gave me an entire inch is impressive to me. I know some people who have permanently gained an inch and a half in height just by stretching out every morning.

I cannot STAND to have my back or my neck cracked. It's probably why they hurt so much all the time, but I just refuse.

Knuckles, on the other hand (har har), are awesome. I'm an expert knuckle cracker.

I love having my bones cracked and could do with it right now, but have to pay a chiropracter to do it so hardly ever get it done. Last time I was measured I'd lost some height - I used to be 4' 10" and now I'm only 4' 9". I really should get back to my yoga practise!

I like the each person is their own universe theory. :)
