Your MT sounds good.
Yup, the marching motion is another of the useful tricks.
The fact that your back feels WORSE if you sleep on your tummy really tells me a lot. Let me know how your bod feels after a decent try of the soft shotgun.
(I have a couple other ideas, but I'll wait to see how this one works first.)

Hey, ya know what? I was lying in bed reading to my son so I did the gentle squeezes while I was there and I think my back feels better! I wasn't even really trying all that much. I will do it some more when I head to bed in a bit. Maybe that will help!
I'm curious to know more about what you think about lying on my tummy.

The secret is not to try much at all; very gentle, like rocking a baby. 10 seconds or so on, 10 seconds or so off.
Lying on your tummy making it worse makes me think it's unlikely you have a posterior lumbar disc problem.
Let me know how it goes. Got some other tricks for you to try if this one doesn't clear things up!

Kelowna, I know nothing medically that is helpful to you...
Just wanted to say I am sorry this continues to be an ongoing issue for you
Pain is such a difficult thing to live with
Thinking of you, Rave
Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".

I told my BIL about this exercise but his SI joint is "frozen" so I'm not sure it'll help him. If it doesn't, any suggestions to what he can try??
