| Pettitte Misses Start Due to Back Spasms | | 2008-03-22 11:26:00 | | From ESPN:TAMPA, Fla. -- New York Yankees left-hander Andy Pettitte was scratched from his scheduled start in a minor league game Saturday because of back spasms. Pettitte said his back locked up while driving home after working out Thursday. He expects to make his next start Thursday and be ready for the regular season."I feel a lot better today than I did yesterday," Pettitte said.

| | Josh Beckett's Back Spasms Are Cause For Concern, For ALL Of Us. | | 2008-03-09 04:55:00 | | Good morning on this Sunday, the first full day of Eastern Standard time. Wow, it seemed like Daylight Savings time came and went in a fortnight (that's two weeks). But now to more important news, news that provided quite the scare to Red Sox fans and coaches. Josh Beckett, our ace and "savior", stepped on a soft spot near the mound while throwing his warm up pitches before his scheduled Saturday start and did something to his back.

However, we do not always need to understand a benefit in order to take advantage of it. Fig. 13Knee point 4 (Bladder 54)Located on the back portion of the knee exactly at the midpoint of the crease. See also Fig 30.To be used bilaterally for the back pain. Fig. 14Leg point 2 (Bladder 57)At the lower tip of the calf muscle in the vertical midline of the back of the leg.
