Marling, The following still works for me: 1. bend one knee until you can grasp it with both hands. 2. keeping the other leg straight hook it with the foot of the bent leg. 3. pull your shoulders towards the knee you are grasping (this should result in a curved back). 4. start rocking backwards and forwards - slowly at first 5. concentrate on lengthening the swing and pressing down with the straight leg during it's down stroke. 6. this action will eventually result in you attaining a sitting position, at which time you will no longer be a turtle and the world will have become your oyster' Dennis. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Dennis Greene 49/dx 37/ onset 32 There's nothing wrong with me that a cure for PD won't fix!
