RE: [Paddlewise] My lower back hurts

You reminded me of Mary Poppins, with the story of a Man with one leg called
John, and somebody asked, "and what was the name of the other leg"?

 

Thanks for the advise. 

 

My seat is fiberglass with some cushing made out of cloth and some carpet
bottom layers.

 

I will take care to follow your idea of padding the sides.

 

Best Regards,

 

Rafael.

Sometimes, when the seat back is also hard plastic, my lower spine will get
sore from being pressed back into the hard plastic back so I add a pad
there, too. But it's interesting that sometimes just adding pads on either
side of the pressure point - but not on the pressure point itself, helps the
most. In other words, don't pad the spot where it hurts; pad the spots on
either side. The pads will need to be moved around to find the "sweet" spot
for sitting so I just dab a dot or two of silicone on the bottom to allow it
to be moved around - and then mark it - before I set it in place
permanently.
