Hi, I'm brand spanking new to HOP, never even new it existed until I stumbled upon it recently. Only just starting to get my sea legs as far as the technology thing goes. Just typed poi into a search engine and BAM, Here I am. And right glad I am too. Been spinning for years on and off, started in South Africa and the enthusiasm kinda waned once I got to the UK and refused to leave the warmth of indoors for months. Years later I am regaining my passion and learnig to accept that 26 degrees celcius is warm.
Think Hop is amazing, looking forward to learning and living and loving and growing.

humf...cyber massage doesnt count!!
Have my next appointment with the chiropractor today, I know this is going to hurt..... I cant help thinking that if I just got a small person to walk on my back it would have sorted it out
*starts to eye up some small people walking past*

Whats wrong with it blu? can't be arsed to read back (no time really) I can help with sports injuries etc. if muscle based pain I can help you if its spine alignment I wouldn't touch it with a long soft thing (no crass comments pleae i'm in medical mode) for fear of making things worse.
is your bed:-
soft
hard
how many pillows do you use?
i also suggest baths over showers before bed to loosen muscles around the spine prior to laying on them and a heat pad wouldn't go amiss. also see if you can blag stuff off work to make yor work station more comfortable, tell them unless they can help you may miss work through i'll health as you are in a lot of pain.
A couple of balls short of a full cascade... or maybe a few cards short of a deck... we'll see how this all fans out.

Thanks Mynci, been to a chiropractor, even got a second opinion from another, its been long in the comming because of an old injury and then recently I took a fall down the stairs and landed on my knee which sent a shock up my spine and slipped a disk while also managing to damage a nerve having an impact on the right side of my body. So know I have to go to a series of tratment sessions so that they can re-alighn my spine and heal the damaged nerve. (theyre even using a bit of acupuncture to help the bloodflow to the muscles in the effected area and to keep the swelling down-they stick needles into me and I'm not even getting a tatoo out of the deal! Grrrr)
Ive managed to get a new chair at work (its a big one with arm rests and everything!) and Ive been told to keep as mobile as possible (fat chance with my job) and ice my lower back at least twice a day. Will have to give the bath thing a miss as most of the pain comes from sitting and bending. Have also had flat boards placed under my mattress for better support (was going to buy a new one but this chiropractic care is costing a small fortune) and I use two pillows, oneskinny one, and one nice one..which Im told is supposed to be right..I may get one of those special pillows made of that foamy stuff that gives proper neck support and stuff...but wel see. No more competative contact sports for me though....
Other than that, Im just moaning about it at every opportunity...once I'm sorted Im wrapping myself in pillows and making more of an effort to stop being so damn clumsy!!
