LOWER BACK PAIN RELIEF- Medical Massage Techniques This video shows a few of the techniques we use. It takes a medley of techniques to return the body to homeostasis. The majority of the time, low back pain stems from the QL or quadratus lumborum. The QL is your deepest abdominal muscle. It's found in your lower back, between the top of your pelvis and your lowest rib. The QL supports good posture and helps stabilize your spine when you bend to the side or extend your lo...wer back. In order to get the QL to stop spasming or be free of trigger points, one must utilize a variety of techniques to get to it. Once the superficial layers have been worked, then you can access and relax the QL. To book an appointment, visit us at: www.sandiegomedicalmassage.com

Body Tempering - Precise Pressure for Amazing Results . What is Body Tempering? . Body Tempering (BT) is a soft tissue therapy that is performed by using weighted tools applied directed onto muscles and joints. Think of this as a reverse foam roller; instead of you being on top of the roller, it's on top of you.... . In my experience, the slow methodical pressure this technique provides has helped me release deep and stubborn adhesions in my body. . These are serious therapy tools, so they must be respected. The tools used in BT are heavy, ranging from 20lbs (like the @kabukistrengthlab "boomstick" tool, in this video) to over 200lbs--so use with caution! Learn possible physiological responses and understand your anatomy before attempting to use these tools. With that said, my advice would be to find a qualified professional who can apply these tools. . One tool I do recommend for personal is called "the Baby Boomer and it's also created by @kabukistrength. This tool would be a good start for those wanting to get into self-administered BT, as the chances of injury are relatively low. . What do you think about Body Tempering? .

QUAD RELEASE - Balance Your Hips = Low Back Pain Relief . In many cases, when we have low back pain, it stems from the quads. Have you ever heard the term "quad dominant"?

Its called a postural imbalance. Overactive quads cause the lumbar spine to have an unusually large inward arch. This is called lordosis.... .
