every time he did my back a week later the work would be undone by the glute moving upwards slightly...

i sacked this and concentrated on 'ATF' squats - and i mean ass to floor! it stretched out the glute and hamstring...

i also addded SLDLs (done properly!) against the advice of my chiropractor and my back has had no pain since (this was about a year ago)

i'd think about exercises that stretch out the posterior chain ;)
