I had L4 ~ L5 area affcted, can not remember which one, but after more than 3 to 4.5 yrs of waiting for healing... GP&DR, couldn't help me ( and I didn't to have an operation) I literally Started to skip halfh a" from off the floor, with out a rope, to start with, but with just an imaginary rope. ((To remove some time, that stupid competition with oneself)) And my jumps not higher then halth a" And this was very hard to achieve, when I first tried it couldn't even come off the ground, due to the pain and luck of strength...There for!!! I said to myself this was a good start as any... :) And decided to do 8 jumps, in the morning, 8 in the afternoon, and 8 at night...the same every day...and very slowly, at first could hardly achieve this. And on the third day Added 2 more to every of my 8 jumps: i.e. 10 in the morning 10 in the afternoon 10 in at night... so on and so on... adding 2 more jumps on every third day!!! AND HAD COMBINED IT WITH SWIMING 1-2- OR even 3 time A WEEK This was the Jack Pot for me!!! !!! !!! My GP & DRs had told me that both will be extremely bad for me, and my HEALTH...But I was between a ROCK & A HARD PLACE... AFTER a month of this I checked it out! and I could'n beleive it! The pain had totally...gone and I could JUMP 4600 JUMPS BETWEEN 15&20 minutes with out even thinking about it!!! and I kept it going for about 3-4 months...The pain had gone for good And I had My very Beautiful French BODY BACK WITH NO PAIN...But after a year and a bit the pain came back...It took me quiet a while to understand that it was like a measure of my fitness from now on...AND there for to keep the fitness going...fairly! And that gave ME a PLUS and not a miner point... This means as soon that I feel the ghost of a PAIN I know that my fitness is reminding me of some thing:) I have also put my name to a GYM 3 YEARS SINCE and I have never been as fit in my life, and I speak as ex Gymnast and ex Dancer...etc, etc!!! !!! !!! NAM MYOHO RENGE KYO... NAM MYOHO RENGE KYO...NAM MYOHO RENGE KYO...
