Low Back Inflammation
Pathology - whether it's malignant or benign - is a vicious cycle. Normal daily activities can trigger an injury to specific tissue that's so small as to be undetectable. Something as simple as overdoing it at the gym or lifting a box that's too heavy, or doing so too quickly, can do the job. Scott Kushner, PT, MS, Cert. MDT, describes how to spot the warning signs that lead to malignant back pain. (A Web link story will also discuss the origins of low-back pain problems).
Pilates
Pilates has become a powerful rehab tool with significant benefits for patients as well as PT practice. The Pilates principle of core stabilization addresses posture, muscle performance and motor control. Today, physical therapists are using Pilates successfully to treat many common conditions and diseases.
