Distinguishing between stability and mobility needs in the lumbar spine can be a challenge. Come along as we discuss subjective reports from these patients, fine tuning neuromuscular control, and engaging patients in their recovery.
Remember to:
Listen to your patient - the words they use can be a big clue
When in doubt start with stability training
Proximal stability is needed for distal mobility!
Engage those local muscles and build a strong pillar
Collaborative care might just be what your patient needs.
