" 'The Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It’s an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together.'
In the galaxy of your body, you are bound together, from every cell to every muscle to every bone to every organ to every nerve by something called fascia. Since everything within you is connected to everything else, that means that your low back pain could be stemming from a restriction in a nearby “planet” like your hip flexors or glutes, or an even more distant satellite like your foot. This continuity has a huge impact on your experience of pain and your ability to perform at your best — whether you are an elite athlete, a weekend warrior, or a just a human being who wants to feel good enough to live the way you want to live.”
