What in general makes it feel better? (sitting versus standing versus lying down; knees to chest stretch versus prone on elbows or press up?)
How's his flexibility? (ie 90 degree SLR, heel to butt in prone?)

I think standing better than sitting better than lying down. I'll ask about the other stuff. His chiro/ART evaluation was underwhelming--they pooh-poohed even the possibility of a hyperextension etiology--despite the fact that he told them (and demonstrated) that he doesn't round at all, they were "sure" that was probably the problem (even w/o evidence to support it). Grr.
