Not only do muscle imbalances affect every joint of your body; they also affect your internal organs! For example, what do you think happens to space between your internal organs when your low back muscles are pulling you to right? Your overall health is affected by muscle imbalances! I've worked with hundreds of people who have been diagnosed with so called conditions and are pain free with in just a few weeks! In most cases, all I had them do was stretch muscles that were pulling too much and strengthen ones that weren't pulling enough! Have you ever been to a Chiropractor, Physical Therapist, or Orthopedic Surgeon? Did they explain what cause of problem was? Did they explain to you, which muscles were pulling too much? Did their treatment plan correct your condition, or did they just treat symptom? The major problem is that most medical professionals don't look at body as a whole. They zoom in on your problem area (symptom), in our example low back. Well, cause of problem is almost always tightness of hip flexors and quadriceps muscles, which are in front of your body! Before you accept any diagnosis be sure that you have looked at all possibilities. Figuring out what is causing problem (or will cause one in future) is relatively easy. An extensive physical evaluation can be performed, which includes testing of muscular strength, flexibility, and function. Gait (walking) and biomechanics should also be assessed to note any deviations that are result of current muscle imbalances and ones that may cause future problems. Once you know which muscles are too tight and which are too weak you can then begin correcting those Imbalances. All it takes is some stretching and strengthening in right places, which can take just a few minutes a day!

4. Consistent Focused Action - achieving success in anything requires consistency and focused action. Most people with back pain won't make time to work on their problem each day... instead they take pain killers which mask pain and allow them to cause more damage while they continue with their life. 5. Don't do what doesn't work - we already know that most traditional treatments for back pain don't work.... why waste your time, energy, and money? The real key to eliminating back pain is to identify true cause of pain and then address it with a combination of treatments to treat both cause and symptoms. Over 80% of all back pain is caused by muscle imbalances... NOT a lack of pain killers or surgery! Fid out what's going on in your body and take action.
