Is your lower back feeling rigid and compressed? This is a controlled spinal articulation exercise. From a kneeling position with hands on the iliac crests, initiate a slow, segmental flexion of the lumbar and thoracic spine, followed by a controlled extension. This mobilizes vertebral joints and releases fascial tension. Send this to someone who needs to improve their spinal mobility. 🌿 . . . #wellness #health #movement #bodywork #spinalmobility #backcare #fascialrelease #lumbarspine #physiotherapy #osteopathy #correctiveexercise #posturecorrection

Did you know that spinal misalignments can put pressure on the nerves exiting your vertebrae? Here, a specific manual adjustment applies a controlled force to the thoracic and lumbar spine. This technique aims to restore proper motion and release deep tension in the back muscles. 💆‍♀️ Save this for your next session. • #chiropractic #spinaladjustment #thoracicmobility #lumbarspine #manualtherapy #chiropractor #backpainrelief

Why is a rubber mallet being used on the lower back? This is a form of instrument-assisted spinal mobilization. The practitioner applies targeted percussive force to specific lumbar vertebrae. The goal is to restore mobility to restricted joints and address deep fascial tension. 🦴 Send this to a colleague. . . . #chiropractic #osteopathy #spinalmanipulation #instrumentassisted #lowerbackpain #manualtherapy #chirotools #lumbarspine

Did you know flexing your hips towards your chest can decompress the lumbar spine and sacroiliac joints? This bilateral hip flexion to chest mobilization uses the legs as a lever to gently stretch the lower back muscles and encourage cavitation (the pop!💥) in the L4-L5-S1 vertebral segments, releasing built-up pressure. Save this for your next session. . . . #lowbackpain #chiropracticadjustment #spinaldecompression #sijoint #lumbarspine #mobilization #backcrack

Did you know the sacroiliac joint transfers all forces from your upper body to your lower body? This bilateral knee-to-chest mobilization uses the legs as levers. By applying a controlled thrust through the knees, we can decompress the lumbar spine and reset the SI joints, often resulting in that satisfying 'pop' 🔊. Save this for your next session. #wellness #bodywork #chiropractic #sijoint #lumbarspine #manualtherapy
