New client comes in complaining of low back pain and weakness. I dont understand it, I do my sit ups and core work regularly. Someone forgot to tell him that the core wasnt solely comprised of the abs. His abs were strong and quite functional, but his psoas and lumbar multifidi were out to lunch. We know from cadaver studies (thanks Dr Kathy Dooley) that people with low back pain have lumbar multifidi that are basically fatty tissue. We also know from sitting, that the psoas becomes dysfunctional. Strengthening his abs only exaggerated the difference between his core muscles, and when his multifidi and psoas had to work, his low back became weak and painful. Using a tool like NKT™ can help you identify and correct these imbalances.
