My lower back is killing me after pulling transmissions all week

Any diesel techs have good stretches or routines? I can't keep popping ibuprofen like candy, lol.

Yeah, popping ibuprofen like candy is bad news. Try cat-cows every morning.

For my chronic pain, cat-cows help but sometimes you just need the actual medicine, you know.

Popping ibuprofen like candy" is how I found out my spine considers Advil a major food group. If cat-cows help, maybe we need the diesel tech version, like transmission curls or torque converter twists. Honestly, after a week of that, I'm pretty sure my skeleton is just a bunch of loose bolts in a bag. Stretching feels like asking a crumpled soda can to please go back to its original shape.
