Kinda forgot about this post. Thanks for the kind words.
Necessity is the mother of invention and my brother is taking things head on so far. He's taken all his years of fabrication knowledge and begun work on a brace that will allow him to surf. Can't wear it all the time because you begin to strain the joints in the hips and shoulders but it's getting him out of the house.
As far as preventative steps go... I've discovered a thing called a spinal decompression circuit. This stuff is no friggin joke the best way to keep the back healthy.
They combine weight exercises with stretching (yoga) and muscle alignments to really promote a healthy spine throughout. The one I'm going to also has a detox circuit with a combination of massage and heat therapy. It's all covered by my insurance too...
I've also been swimming which is massive.
Overall this has been a curse and a blessing... I'm working better right now than I ever have, it is on account of my brother going through some heavy stuff tho.
