More than just “core exercises”

I take a holistic approach, when addressing low back pain.

Low back pain can have multiple aggravating factors and we want to identify those points and control what we can influence through movement.

Common factors I commonly see are:

1️⃣ Lifestyle/Sleep/Diet

2️⃣ Stress Levels

3️⃣ Current activity levels

4️⃣ Prior injury history

All these items guide our decision making process when prescribing exercises and overall program structure.

Some of my favorite exercises I like to include in our return to running programs for ankle injuries in runners.

What do you feel like is the missing link in your rehab program?

Exercises I use regularly with my ankle rehab clients.

Common muscle qualities we work on:

1. Improve calf and achilles tendon strength.

2. Improve intrinsic foot strength.

I like to use these movements during low back pain rehab assessment.

Here’s why:

1. Active SLR: loooking at the trunk/pelvis ability to stabilize as they initiate leg movement.

2. Split Squat Iso: testing single leg strength and endurance.

3. Forearm Plank: assessing preferred stabilization strategies.

4. Breathing: the breathing muscles and ribcage are important for trunk stability.

We’re looking to assess and modify symptoms during these movements to guide the rehab process.
