Gotta disagree slightly. I don't take it any easier than before I developed back problems. Still operating my Cats, logging, and building post&beam. All solo.

What I did change was to stop doing the dumb things I used to do. Repetitive bent activity is now interrupted periodically to do some standing stretching, ala Mckenzie. I also don't carry the Cat counterweights by myself anymore. Duh!

One common major mistake, that I also did, was to take it extremely easy after injury. Repeating the injury obviously won't help, but neither does immmobility. Gotta keep moving for faster healing.

Clearly backs like jdemaris' got beyond simple stretching. I have yet to see a doc about mine. When they have a cure, I'll go. Until then, learning to live with what you have has worked very well for me. My McKenzie book goes out like a lending library's. Not that they're expensive, but most won't buy the book, or, for that matter, do the exercises.
