• Bulging or herniated discs
• Muscular strain and/or ligamentous sprain
• A tear or hyperextension of supporting muscles, tendons, or ligaments
• Arthritis or other bony degenerative changes
These concerns can develop as a result of a myriad of environmental issues, such as having poor posture, prolonged sedentary activity, car accident, sporting-related injury, stress, heavy lifting, and so on. When it comes to back pain, Do Not Wait! When you experience an injury to your back, or realize that you are experiencing regular pain as a result of an ongoing injury or overuse, it is important to find out the cause of your back pain as quickly as possible. Back pain can easily become chronic, as a potentially small issue can become complicated when it is not addressed early on. Working with a physical therapist can help you to identify the root cause(s) of your specific back pain and to begin working towards a successful and pain-free solution.

For this technique, the knees bend minimally if at all. One leg is allowed to come off the floor behind the lifter and acts as a counter balance. This leg becomes almost parallel to the floor. The front knee, bearing the person's weight, can bend slightly to allow effective use of your leg muscles. The end result is that you reduce strain on your spine by using your leg muscles and maintaining a healthy inward curve (lordosis) in your low back. Try it!
