Okay, got someone with lower back pain whether that's chronic or acute. This one's probably more suited to the chronic low back pain sufferer, someone who can get prone, not the acute.

So Lumbar Erector Spinae. Very easy to needle, very safe. What do we do after that as a follow-up Manual Therapy Technique, and of course do some Twitch type needling, or, leave the needles in then you do some springing around the sacrum and the mid-thoracic just here to open out this area given that it's trying to be shortened and a little bit into extension.

So from here we're going to open this out, contact points in that mid-thoracics and then over the sacrum. Really nice technique to open this whole area out once you've needled the Lumbar Erector Spinae.

Hope that helps.
