hello,i would like opinions on whether or not i can safely carry on with back exercises with my two new knees.

the exercises are the ones advocated by Robin McKenzie in his book "treat your own back" and i specifically refer to the one where you lie completely flat,face down,totally relaxed and then push up with your hands and do a half press up. This bends the spine and helps reinforce the Lordosis.

i have found this procedure extremely helpful in keeping my sciatica at bay and wish to carry on with it.

the question is,will my knees be ok for this?

What think you,o people of the forum?

i should add i used to be terribly afflicted with sciatica,until this book saved my life.

Yours

Mike
