Arrow sometimes

you can do it yourself .....and it'll pop back in where it likes to be...

the way you accomplish that....

is to lay on the floor and cross one leg and hip over the other side....while
trying to reach with you opposite arm to the opposite side

your essentially doing to yourself .....what a chiropractor
does to you manually.... like ringing out a dishrag....
take your time....

figure out what your range of motion is....doing it both ways on opposite sides... if your able to ....that is...

where you get stuck or stopped is the slipped disc
fighting you ..... its all muscles and tendons ....holding it
in place... (or out of place) always stretch very gently

you have to identify...the sweet spots (or positions) where you have no pain
and the trigger spots which amplify the .... pain response...

by doing a careful comparison you can figure out where your out
of whack... also by looking at your shoulder blade height in the mirror.......

sometimes you can do it by yourself and other times not...

slow stretching while in the shower (hydrotherapy)
...trying to touch your toes helps... but don't force it...
slow and easy...
