Trainer: Get clearance from your md and find a well certified trainer to develop a program for you focusing on your back concerns. Must be well schooled in back strengthening while protecting your back. You might look into a rehab center that also offers training for non-rehabilitation people. You need to strengthen your core -- carefully -- and develop a plan for life to keep things strong and healthy.
