I most certainly will keep you all ~~bored rigid~~ apprised of how it pans out.
My Chiro too is cautious about it, he advises that it would be foolish to go charging in like a bull in a china shop.
He expects to be adding this "traction" element to his practice as a monitored "therapy" procedure.
But, he knows I am not entirely stupid and that I understand what is involved.
All he said to me was I'm not recommending it to you, as I don't want the responsibility, but I would say to you it does wonders for me with my neck issue.

Who remembers those circus acrobat wimmins who used to get themselves suspended by their long locks, usually blonde, and then would spin around hanging from them?
So it must be possible.
again, all the best wiv it, mate!!

Cor blimey!
Looked very similar to one owned by a now deceased friend and member of my car club.
His was in Canford CLiffs but overlooked the bay with a magnificent view.
But who'd pay that for a place that risks being flooded out due to planetary warming?

Saw the Chiro this morning and he has certainly given C5/6 a ruddy good crick-crack.
We also discussed the advisability of traction for the neck and "neck muscle strengthening" exercises.
He showed me the traction thing he uses himself for his own neck (damaged in a rugby game at Uni), I have bought one too.
Hoping to improve the joint separation.

Looks like it'll pull your head off. Or tear the door off its hinges

LOL, I hope neither happens.
In the hoisting bit is a spring balance so you set the amount of "pull" it exerts and then just sit still/read a book or whatever.

Yes, he says he has some balls that will make me gag; or was it that he would lend me a ball gag.... I forget.

Well I could BA in the end. Managed to wash and rinse the half of the room I am going to paint before I finish it.
Lots of moving around of white goods and sweeping up. Right pain in such a confined space.
Still I have a plan. little bit more filling then onwards and upwards.

Zero degrees here with melting sleet
Someone tried to steal my towbar couple of nights ago, dogs must have put them off, got 5 out of six bolts out, was going to fix it today but a bit damp.

Can yer change the bolts to different ones or damage the head so they cant undo em again.
