Low Back Pain - Stretch?

Look, you’re young (maybe you’re old) and by the forces of nature, your search led you here…

You’ve spent countless hours searching the dark corners of the internet…

Looking for answers to that unending nag in your low back…

The ache is uncomfortable, sharp, achy, stiff…

You feel it every time you sit, stand, walk, roll in bed, pick up something, put your pants on...

You feel like you are in your 80’s.

*sighs*

Somewhere along this journey someone told you to stretch your way out of it.

Good advice but not complete. 

Studies have shown that stretching the low back is beneficial for reducing pain but only TEMPORARILY.

Stretching has been the go-to treatment for back pain for years…

Until now. 

The rise of low back pain continues to grow year after year. It is estimated that by 2050, 850+ million people will suffer from low back pain.

The question to ask ourselves is “Why?”

90% of back pain is diagnosed as non-specific. Non-specific (adj) : not detailed, not exact, general.

Clinicians have been using a blanket treatment (aka stretch) for a blanket diagnosis (aka non-specific pain).

Today, we know there are specific tests we can use to diagnose low back pain.

Once we know why behind pain, we can be sniper focused on the treatment that matters.

The end result? Getting out of pain faster.

Do you have flexion intolerance? An extension bias? Don’t know?
