Isn't it fascinating?!
I love how this image clearly demonstrates how everything affects your back.
If everything affects your back and you've got back pain, then you need a whole-person solution.
THIS is...
Have you ever had an ache or a pain that wouldn't go away? Or when it does, it seems to reappear in a different part of the body? Sometimes it hops from one side of the body to the other.
One of the issues I see with current back pain treatment is that it's largely "mechanistic", going after the...
My friend and colleague, Dr. Jerome Fryer, in British Columbia has conducted a pilot study on loading and unloading the spine using a seated spinal decompression technique. He has graciously given me permission to reprint (and reword) one of his recent blog articles, relating to his...

If you feel like you’re in a...

So this is a familiar movement, right? The difference is that I’m not cat-cowing, and I’m not moving my whole spine.
I’m just isolating the movement to my lumbar spine
and I’m just slow-flexing to cat
Why?

First, a public service announcement: A “strong core” does not mean “six pack abs”. It could include them but your rectus abdominus is NOT the be-all, end-all indicators for whether you’re core-strong.
