Low Back Tension: Example Rehab Routine

5/9/2017

 

Do you have recurring low back pain? 

Nearly 80% of the population will experience low back pain at some point during their life. Of the 80%, nearly 1/3 of those people will have a recurring episode of pain. 
This means if you have low back pain, you will likely experience it a second or third time. 
This information is not meant to be scary or threatening. The body is not fragile or frail. Pain or tension is simply an alarm indicating something may be wrong. Even in the presence of pain, the spine is extremely strong and resilient! However, this information should be a call to action. If you are experiencing any low back pain or discomfort, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! The symptoms will not disappear. You need to change your daily habits or routine. It is important to incorporate new healthy movements and positions for your spine.

What should I do for daily maintenance of the low back?

I was recently working with a middle aged man who was experiencing tension on the right side of his low back. He described the sensation as 'grabbing' or 'catching' when lifting or going up the stairs. Additionally he reported a lack of power from his leg muscles. After watching his movement analysis and going through a few basic tests, the source of the symptoms was quickly diagnosed.  His low back pain was due to a lack of mobility. In other words, his spine and hips lacked adequate movement. The exercises below were performed on his initial physical therapy visit.
Low Back Mobility ​​
Cat-Cow for Spine Mobility
​
Hip Rotational Mobility
Glute Activation with a Neutral Spine

Why these exercises?

There is a popular phrase in the fitness and rehab community that states, "mobility before stability." In other words, we need to get tight or stiff areas moving better before we can strengthen them. With this particular person I was treating, he needed mobility exercises first. Once the motion in the hips and spine improved, I finished the treatment with the fourth exercise, the bird dog,  We needed to build a foundation of mobility before strengthening in his new range of motion!

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga.

My name is Hailey Garcia and I am from New Jersey. My herpes virus turned to war after 2 years of living with it. I have tried different medical procedures to cure my herpes but to no avail. Most people think herpes is only a minor skin irritation of which herpes has long term effects on health and passes through the bloodstream and can be easily contracted through sexual intercourse. I knew I had herpes from the first day I started feeling itchy in my pubic area and the pain was very unbearable. I couldn't stand it anymore. After 2 years of trying other means to get rid of it, I had to contact Doctor Odunga to help me with a permanent cure. I saw his email and whats-app number from a testimony I read online from a lady who was also helped by him in curing infertility problems, I had faith and contacted him. He assured me of his work and I ordered his herbal medicine. Within 5 days, I didn't feel any pain anymore and within 2 weeks, my skin was all cleared and smooth. I am very grateful to you sir and I write this testimony as others have done to bring those having faith to you sir. If you have herpes or other similar disease and you want it cured, kindly contact Doctor Odunga, Whats-App (wa.me/+2348167159012) OR Email [email protected]
