Low back pain is a very common cause of pain. Our sedentary posture and lack of activity could trigger an ongoing issue with low back pain.
Our body in all its created beauty, is connected. It is interesting to note that in recent times, research and refined anatomy has proved that the fascia which covers and encapsulates the muscles and organs are interconnected together. They also found that when a muscle attached to the bone, there are indirect connections that attach it to the surrounding areas or joints.
With this in mind, dealing with low back pain would involve looking at the dysfunctions that could be immediately close to the low back; such as the thoracic spine, rib cage, scapular attachments and also lower into the hip or all the way to the end of the limbs. Taking a detailed history usually unravels a pattern of dysfunction. Also assessment of the surrounding joints help rule out stiffness or pain in them. Hence treatment also will involve dealing with these areas.
