Thoracic mobilization focuses on improving movement in the thoracic spine, the mid-back region between the cervical spine (neck) and lumbar spine (lower back). Although less prone to injury than the lower back, this area can become stiff due to factors like poor posture, prolonged sitting, or limited physical activity. Limited thoracic mobility often leads to…
introduction: The human body is interconnected, where one muscle group directly or indirectly influences another. One such vital muscle is the gluteus medius, part of the larger gluteal muscle group. While it might not always get the spotlight like the larger gluteus maximus, the gluteus medius plays a crucial role in core stability, proper posture,…
Low back pain (LBP) is a common condition that affects millions of people globally, with lumbar instability being a significant contributing factor in many cases. Lumbar instability refers to the abnormal movement between the vertebrae in the lower spine, often resulting in pain, discomfort, and functional limitations. This article will explore lumbar instability’s causes, signs,…
Introduction: Lumbar stenosis is a condition characterized by the narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back (lumbar region), which can put pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. Stenosis can occur in any part of the spinal canal but most commonly affects the lumbar region. This narrowing often leads to a variety of…
Herniated Lumbar Disc: A herniated lumbar disc is a protrusion of the annulus fibrosus to the surrounding vertebrae. The annulus fibrosis is the soft spongy material embedded between the discs. The strong annulus fibrosus can absorb significant stress and maintain stiffness in the presence of the tensile forces induced by bending and twisting of the…
