That link on Rebounding
That link on "Rebounding" may sound left field however having bulged a disc in my L5/S1 joint because of a bad rowing technique. I found that link interesting, in fact there are some chiropractors that recommend bouncing on an inflated ball to "Oxygenate" a bulging disc back to health. So the reboun...
