Mastering Lower Back Pain

Would you like to have a better understanding of what type of lower back pain you have? In this video I'll show you how I might assess to know if the person I'm with has a non-specific lower back pain versus other types of lower back pain. This is the most common type of lower back pain worldwide, with over 80% of lower back pains being attributed to it! (Balagué, Federico, Anne F. Mannion, Ferran Pellisé, and Christine Cedraschi. “Non-Specific Low Back Pain.” The Lancet 379, no. 9814 (February 4, 2012): 482–91.  https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(11)60610-7.)

Additional red-flags: history of cancer (especially breast, leg, prostate, thyroid, kidney). If someone is under 20 (scoliosis?) or over 50 (malignancy or arthritis? The latter not being a serious issue when I've encountered it in my clinic. I find mobility exercises tend to be more important in that case.)
