First Aid for the Spine
People under the age of fifty (50) should use this position immediately
when back pain strikes. Extension in prone restores the normal alignment
of the spine and allows for proper healing.
Periodically through the day you should get into this position to counter the
compressive effects of sitting too much (such as at a computer).
you should ice the back in this position.
Do not use heat for the first two days!

'The Clam'
We use this all the time for butt pain, piriformis syndrome, sacro-iliac pain
and hip bursitis. This is the muscle that attaches the tail bone to the hip
bone. We call it The Clam because that's what it looks like and it's easier to
say than Sidelying Hip External Rotation.
The Clam is also good for hip and knee rehabilitation.
