the foam may have changed your spinal position, but at rest, your muscles were not exerting force against the resistance (according to my understanding); in fact, you said the pads retrained your muscles. to my knowledge, muscles do not in matters of direction of contraction and flexion, but they can change is the abilities of strength and power.

im glad you no longer have any spinal-pain related issues...but id still be interested in answers to the other questions.
