There is a lot of confusing inrfimatoon available about back pain. I like to keep things simple by using a quick little test. Try this out. It’ll literally take 1 minute.Lie down on your back for 30 seconds with legs extended out, resting on the floor. Now bend your knees so the feet are sitting flat on the floor near your behind for 30 seconds. Which one feels better? If your back pain diminishes with knees bent then your spine has excessive extension stress acting on it. There are simple exercises to correct this. If your spine felt better with legs extended then you have excessive flexion stress acting on your spine. Again this is easily correctable.Chronic pain results from a cycle of issues. Anatomical problems feed biomechanical issues which then affect movement habits that reinforce the original anatomical and biomechanical problems. Fixing back pain requires attention to all three levels. It's quite simple to correct though and outlined this in my book. I’m very successful treating chronic pain and it is likely this inrfimatoon will be the key you’ve been missing to fix your pain. I’ve also posted this test on YouTube, if you’re interested.
