Main Trigger Points of Back Pain: Bottom Up and Top Down | Ed Paget
Did you know that lower back pain can be affected from the bottom up or top down? Let’s assess if you have tight hips and a stiff thorax.
Clinicians traditionally look at the back as the source of the problem, when you look at the body as a whole it becomes clear that in reality the back is usually a victim of something else not working to its optimal potential.
In this video, I empower you to look at your body as a complete unit by showing an easy way to assess the hips and the thorax. The hips are the biggest joints in the body. They have lots of muscles that pull on them allowing them to move in all 6 directions with every conceivable iteration in between. However, they can easily become locked down by prolonged sitting or inactivity.
The same happens with your upper back, unlike the neck or the lumbar spine the mechanics of the thoracic spine allow it to move in all combinations in all directions, Although, it is very adaptable, this adaptability is what leads it to become stiff from prolonged forward posture.
Besides your hips and your thorax, we could go wider and check how your lifestyle is affecting your back, make sure to visit: https://edpaget.com/home
