Therapy by Segway?
I am not sure what the theory is, but riding the Segway seems to be good therapy for my hip arthritic conditiion and back problems. I think maybe it is the pretty constant movement created by the Seg. Each time we go over a crack in the sidewalk, there is a little bump. When we hit a sudden drop of a half inch or so, there is a little "jarring". We go over those cracks sometimes with one wheel level and the other dropping or rising over a crack, which creates a sideways motion. Most of the "cuts" for curbs have pretty good bumps in them. I have gotten to the point that when my back is hurting, I tell my wife I am going for a Seg Glide to loosen it up and it works every time. I have NEVER found these glides to be detrimental at all. Over 6 months and 1500 miles has been better than seeing a doctor!! (Age 82)
