Have you ever seen the show on PBS "Classical Stretch"? You can also buy the DVD.... it's helped me so much when I've had back pain. No impact. I love it!

I was plagued with Reactive Arthritis for a couple years, and only recently (within the past few months) have I been able to put this crap in complete remission. It sucked, and was painful as hell.

I remember the first time I was able to run on a treadmill, it took a good several trys to get the running motion to happen but when it did, I felt like Forest Gump. You know the part from the movie his braces broke off... "he was a runnin" Quite the day that was

Anyways, I started with the elliptical as it seemed to have the least amount of impact on my joints. It did take me quite a while to be able to stay on it for longer than 10 mins but I truly believe it helped to get things moving around.

I also loved sitting in the sauna, and I would sit in there and stretch my joints.

Best of luck, and feel free to add me as a friend if you want so I can hear about all the great successes you are going to have.
