Treating the source of back pain NMT primarily addresses one of the main causes of low back pain, lower cross syndrome (LCS).  LCS is characterized by alternating patterns of tightness and weakness, indicating long-standing muscle imbalance. Changes in muscular tone create a muscle imbalance, which leads to movement dysfunction. These imbalances and movement dysfunctions may have direct effect on joint surfaces, thus potentially leading to joint degeneration.

How would you know you have these imbalances?  A ‘functional’ approach would include an assessment of the entire lower kinetic chain, pelvis and trunk to look for bio-mechanical causes. The aim is to achieve well-compensated function, realistic, ideal and is the principal goal in your therapy.
