Finding The Root of Back Pain Presented by: Brian Ayers, CSCS Total Transformations, LLC www.ttfitness.com
Finding the Root of Back Pain Back Injuries Strains, sprains, fractures, herniated disks, etc. Consult a doctor for proper treatment. Postural Alignment Problems Most common include: Kyphosis, Lordosis, Scoliosis Muscular Imbalances Compensation patterns that develop from injuries, over use of a specific muscle group, or remaining in an unnatural position for an extended period of time.
Sitting at Your Desk Poor sitting posture for 8+ hours a day is physically distorting your spine. Lets take a look at how many people sit on a daily basis. If you effect one curve of the  spine, you effect all curves. This process will begin in as little as 15minutes of poor alignment.
Upper-Cross Syndrome Characterized by the rounded shoulders, exaggerated thoracic curve, neck hyperextension. Tight muscles:  Chest, upper trap, sternocleidomastoid, anterior delts. Weak muscles: Rhomboids, lower trap, serratus anterior, posterior delts. Pain & tension will manifest in the neck, shoulders, & upper back.
Lower-Cross Syndrome Characterized by an excessive curve in the low back and the pelvis tilting forward. Tight muscles: Hip flexors & spinal erector muscles, quads. Weak muscles: Abdominals, glutes, hamstrings. Pain will manifest in the low back with tightness in the hips.
Flat Back Syndrome Characterized by a decreased curve in the lumbar spine and a posterior pelvic tilt. Tight muscles: Hamstrings & hip flexors Weak muscles: Low back extensors & glutes. Increases the risk of back injury from lifting items from the ground.
Correcting the Problem General guidelines for correcting muscular imbalances include: Stretching the tight muscles. Strengthening the weak over lengthened muscles. Practicing the proper postural alignment:  Move the body into alignment and holding it for a period of time.  Then relaxing and repeating for a designated number of repetitions.
