all right so David came in here today he was talking about low back pain for a while now so
we wanted to get down to what is the root cause of it I think this is a great video for a lot of
people that are having low back and understanding how low back pain starts to persist and how how
it happens and so what we're going to do is we're going to just test his core out right
we're also going to test some of his hip flexion and some of the stabilizing muscles within his
hip and his core and see how all that relates to the low back and so first we're just gonna have
like this and as one of you've probably seen this is our simple core test so you ready you know it
doesn't have very much right there and so what I want them to do is just go ahead and put your
fingers right there and your low back ready and go strength again which is exactly what we want
to see but I also want to show that that's not the only things going on so it's obviously not
good to have one muscle compensating for another muscle but it's really not good if you have one
muscle compensating for a bunch of muscles so now what we're going to do is test a hip flexor
I'm going to start with the so as so I'm gonna go out put them in this position here I'm just
gonna push down with it ready go didn't have very much strength there and so now I'm gonna have you
do is just put your finger right there on you on your left go back so putting his finger right in
the same area where it's been tender and hurting you ready and go and now that's strong so there's
another muscle that is being compensated for that low back and now we're gonna go into a third
muscle so I'm gonna have you boy onto your right side alright so what I'm gonna do is I'm just
going to push down I don't want your resisting you ready yeah my shrink there and then one more
time here and go and not very much drink there so now I'm gonna just put I'm gonna do it this time
because I'm in a better position so I'm gonna just put my finger right in a tightness in the
little back and ready yep go slide a better spot there we want to make sure it's a good luck you
ready yeah go there we go that's good and then one more time you ready and go and there's so there's
another muscle or two muscles so that was the test of the clued meat on the first one and then
I tested the TfL on the second one and those are another two muscles that are beating inhibited by
that low back so now that's four muscles that we found so yeah a bunch of different areas that we
needed to release and need to start activating independently so we're going to start by just
releasing that low back and then we're gonna try to get the hip flexor back on line as well
as the core as well as the QL and as well as the glute meat and TfL so we have plenty of work to do
so we went through about a minute to two minutes we have a lot of work to do for
her for David because of how tight his back was but we just you know massage your dad
will lacks a little bit now we're going to retest all the all the muscles that test the
week before so we're going to start out with Corey and summers go up ready I'm just going
to push down go get there les gonna go here ready yeah good there I'll go into his QL so
I'm just gonna push here ready and go there you ready and go good one more time do anything and
go good and so that just shows the power of releasing those muscles so now additionally
me made it so all those muscles are working independently of the low back and releasing
the low back and the low of the area that was tight feels extremely good now it was a very
tight up tight and knotted up now it feels nice and relaxed and ready to go so this shows how
how fast we can make an impact on something like low back pain and an injury in that area
