WHY IS MY LOW BACK TIGHT?

Dr Jordan Shallow DC, at Muscle Doc: Integrative Performance Therapy goes over a common mechanism for low back tightness. Understanding and addressing imbalances of anterior and posterior shearing forces is a major factor in not just rehabilitation, but prevention of injuries as well. Dr Jordan looks to draw a comparison between hamstring tension due to ACL laxity, with deep lumbar erector tension associated with laxity in posterior spinal ligaments, joint capsules and annulus fibrosis damage. This analogous comparison simplifies the mechanism of common low back tightness and proposes a simple solution for further complications.
