Try moving it back so that you throw with a straight back if you get
what I mean. Also use a low backed chair rather than a stool; without a
back to your seat you are in the situation where body weight is being
applied to the clay, so your backside is trying to move away from the
wheel, and you are trying to stop it falling off the back of the stool.
Result: a screwed up back, and a bent posture. I've had a *Bum Stop* on
every wheel I've owned/used, which means when I've finished I stand up
straight despite being 65 and Arthritic!
