Letter: Twerk your way to a better back

Published 17 July 2024

From Ian Napier, Adelaide, South Australia

On exercises to stave off lower back pain, I discovered that regular hip waggling (twerking?) during tooth cleaning with my 2-minute cycle electric brush resulted in the pain completely disappearing. The only downside is that I have to make sure no one sees me – even at 90, I look incredibly sexy(29 June, p 15)!
