Body Coach's Corner: Lower Back Pain | TB12

Welcome to the TB12 Body Coach's Corner! Here in The Body Coach’s Corner, we’ll be answering questions that we hear from clients here at the TB12 Sports Therapy Center and on our social media channels. You’ll meet our Body Coaches and they’ll share knowledge that will help you feel and perform your best.

Today we’ll be talking about Low Back Pain.

One of the leading causes for low back pain are tight hip flexors. Our hip flexors run from the lower part of our spine to the front of our hips. When this muscle becomes tight, it begins to pull on the lower part of our spine, putting increased pressure on our low back joints and discs. Our hip flexors can tighten up from repetitive use, such as running, walking, or long periods of sitting throughout the day, leaving this muscle in a shortened state.

Here at the TB12 Sports Therapy Center, we treat low back pain with hands-on muscle pliability work, and you can help yourself make progress with at-home pliability. This is targeted deep-force muscle work intended to influence positive trauma, ultimately lengthening and softening the affected muscles, restoring peak muscle pump function. This will reduce the tightness and stiffness leading to reduced tension in your lower back, and ultimately minimize or eliminate your pain.

This video will help you explore a couple of ways you can treat this at home.
