Hi All,

I'm new here but hope you can help me; I'll try to be brief. Hurt back 18 years ago by lifting floor sander on towards right hand side of body (I'm a right handed person). Had pain but nothing too bad but had to stop playing squash as turning made pain worse. Continued normal activities with no pain up until 8 years ago when I started having spasms on right hand side which would make me bend to left. Pain would subside after a few days and I would straighten up; started to get worse over the last few years so i sawa good spinal surgeon who diagnosed a small slip (grade 1 ) spondlytheises of L5 on S1 and two degenerate discs above.
Right now I have predominantly lower back pain and very occasionally higher up in the L4/3 disc area
One thing I do see now is a pelvis which is higher on the right and pushed forwards. From what I have read it seems the pelvis is pretty fundamental in the bodys stance and affect on other bones and muscles.
The question, is there anything that can be done to straighten me? I've been to a 'no crunch' physio and he did some work on me to push my left leg up and some left muscle masage on my lower back but I seem to be worse of almost if it is squeesing the discs even more on my left hand side. Hope I have'nt rambled too much and hope for some good advice. I'll try to upload some images to help. May add later as I can seem to do this.

Thanks in advance,

mark.
