<font color='#000080'>I've got a bust disc in that part of my back - had it since before I started diving. It can be murder, but it shouldn't be a problem if you look after it. I've always used integrated weights so that I wouldn't have the weight of a belt across my spine. There are some disadvantages though, so maybe a harness would be a good place to start.

When I next see you remind me to show you some of the exercises I do to look after my injury. However, there's nothing to beat lying on your back with your knees bent and feet on the floor, just rolling your knees fron side to side. Sorts most niggles out.
