Now, this is a CHALLENGING one! Ever have those patients who have been everywhere, had everything done to them (injections, surgeries, acupuncture) and nothing helped? Well, this is your lucky day because this episode really takes us down the chain from head to toe with someone who had low back pain. Pretty standard, right? But this was FAR from standard. Hint: her low back was not the source of her problem. Why do you think that is? Remember, we bring all of our compensations to our life events. And our movement and injury history sets us up and our dominant patterning keeps us there.
