How do I crack the lower part of my back?

I do a lot of horse riding, and normally take out a Saturday to muck out the horses and do yard work, instead of riding, and my back always KILLS when I get back from 9 hours of doing this.My Mom is a chiropractor and has shown me how to crack my upper back (put your hands into two fists, put them behind your back and lean into them) but the bottom part of my back hurts, and it feels like I should crack it! Does anyone know how to crack the bottom part of my back?

Ideas from those who know please :)?

I don't need the 'what happened' questions.....

But I have a gal in our trailriding club that was involved in a car wreck and is a quadrapalegic. *if you don't know what that is, please dont answer*

She went from trailriding to a electric chair, moving it with her mouth

She is wanting to of course get back into horses and all of us are racking our brains with ideas.

Of course driving is the only solution, she can't drive, it would be with a person at all times.

However, the wheelchair and her combined weighs 600lbs. Her wheelchair cost as much as my truck.

So for her to run up on a wagon, the suspension needs to be tremendous as to not raise the front up.

Does anyone know of any websites, contacts, advice for her family that they can check into wagons for this purpose?

I can find the teams, not a problem, but the wagon is.

Thanks to all the ones that are decent to answer ;)
Sorry, leaving the wheelchair isn't an option, she has to stay in it, or a bed.

Thanks tho, sorry i forgot to add that.
Fae-while I understand where your coming from, shes a 40 yr old woman, who doesn't want to fantisize on a video.

This can be a reality, with enough minds that have been through this before it can be done.

I'm not looking for Horwse or video game answers. honestly.......

POLLS: do you think these sports should be added to the Paralympic Games?

If we truly want people of all sorts of disability to participate in sport - then we should add more categories to different sports?
Such as.....
- Electric Wheelchair synchronised swimming
- Wheelchair ski jump (Winter Paralympic games)
- wheelchair steeple chase

Additional comment: Before all you politically correct, ultra sensitive and easily-offended trolls get on your high horses, I work in disability and have many friends who have severe disability and are wheelchair users. We had a good laugh over discussion like this.
There is a BIG difference between making fun of people with disability and having a laugh ABOUT disability.

Sorry POPEYE, but your suggestion is NOT within the spirit of the joke. Being obese is NOT a criteria for a Paralympian

jobees - fyi,
blind basketball actually exists! Amputees DO go in track events with atificial limbs, so the "hopping" is rather redundant.
Electric wheelchair "murder ball" does exist. My friends play in it. It is actually electric wheelchair rugby league. Full contact sport too! (want more info? - email me) But thanks for some ideas.
