Massage Tutorial: Low back pain, myofascial release techniques
My new book is out! It's called Massage Is Weird: https://massagesloth.com/book/
How do you work with low back pain from a myofascial perspective? Realize that the lumbar aponeurosis is huge, and that many nearby structures can be involved in low back pain and dysfunction.
In this video, I demonstrate my general approach to the lumbar region: Work at an oblique angle, give the tissue time to adjust ("melt"), and don't ignore the many different facets of the lumbosacral region. Explore the QL area, the PSIS, the pelvis, and the lower ribs. Deform the tissue and hold, waiting for the nervous system to chill out in response to your contact. Mobilize structures that have been held rigid for far too long. Oh, also, don't expect to change the world in a single session.
Anything to add? Want to make a video of your own in response? I'll happily post it here!
