Part1, Low Back Muscle Endurance Test-Lumbar FCE
(No Ratings Yet)
Loading ...This video is the first of 2. Understanding how your back compares to healthy, non-painful ones is helpful info to have. The test outlined here, the Lumbar FCE, is based on research generated by Dr. Stuart McGill, and helps us to point out which supportive muscles in the low back might be deficient. We have learned from research that most folks with chronic low back pain will have statistically deficient endurance in some of their core muscles. More research has determined that when we identify these weaknesses with this test, and then exercise to correct that weakness, those backs get much better.
In contrast to what we have taught our patients in the past, we now do not use these test postures to train the weak muscles. Instead, we use a Reverse Pyramid method of reps and sets, employing the exercises you should already be familiar with at FixYourOwnBack.com.
After the first video outlining the test, be sure to check out the second video that shows how to train the deficient muscles to make you better. Cheers.
