Low back pain: how I get clients 50-100% relief during the FIRST session (in 3-5 minutes)
Get the technique here: www.mobilitymastery.com/subscribe
Low back pain can be debilitating, making it hard to work, hold your kids or work out. I’ve had clients walk in my door bent in half, unable to stand up straight because their back pain was so bad.
Many of these clients already “tried everything” by the time they came to me - like chiropractic, massage therapy, acupuncture, physical therapy and more.
When it comes to low back pain, this is the most important thing to know (my opinion): LEAVE YOUR BACK ALONE. Don't touch it. Find the ROOT cause.
The location of pain is rarely the CAUSE of the pain, in my experience.
I’ve helped hundreds of people with low back pain eliminate it completely by finding the root cause and most of the time - that root cause is restricted fascia in the LEGS causing a pelvic imbalance and chain reaction of muscle compensation until the body can’t compensate anymore - which is when you get a pain signal!
In a full session with me we’d “map” the fascia of the quadriceps, quad hip flexors, adductors, IT Band, TFL and hamstrings. Sometimes the calves play a role. We'd learn what your imbalances are left to right and front to back. We would bring you back into balance by releasing the dense, restricted areas of fascia.
I believe low back pain happens when the pelvis becomes unstable, shifts to one side or tilts forward or backwards…which causes the brain to recruit muscles neurologically to “clamp down” to create stability. Those muscles could be gluteus medius, the QL, the iliopsoas, erectors, multifidi etc.
One of the main priorities of the human brain is to keep our spine intact, because if it’s not - we’re as good as dead! The brain needs to communicate with the body (and vice versa) via the central nervous system and spinal cord, and it would rather us be in pain than dead.
The solution?
FREE the muscles that got recruited by the brain (all those hip and back muscles) so they can get back to their “normal” jobs of contracting on demand for simple tasks - like STANDING UP straight (which uses the posterior chain).
How? Release the restricted fascia in muscles that pulled the pelvis out of alignment to begin with.
If I had to pick only ONE area of the body to check for a major imbalance that could be causing low back pain - it would be the quads and quad hip flexors. Without question, this is where the majority of pelvic imbalances come from that I see in my private practice.
I always do this Kinetix quad and quad hip flexor technique first, with every low back pain client (whether the low back pain is SI joint, QL or glute pain like previously diagnosed piriformis syndrome).
The TRICK is finding the more restricted or adhesed side - because if we work both sides

If you want to become a super sleuth when it comes to the human body and finding the root cause of pain, there is no better SINGLE anatomical nugget of wisdom than this: reciprocal inhibition.
Learning how reciprocal inhibition plays out anatomically, and the possible cascade of events between the brain and body when x, y or z happens within this rule…will help you understand why MOST pain in the body happens. It's a bit more complex than it appears at first glance, but WORTH putting time into understanding.
First of all - pain is the brain detecting POSSIBLE danger and alerting you to a possible threat. Whether that threat is real or imagined doesn’t matter to the human brain. YOUR job is to figure out if the threat is real, and if it is - do something about it.
Learning when and why the brain enacts the stretch reflex (which can lead to strained or pulled muscles), when and why the brain denies mobility or enacts the law of inhibition…is key to understanding why most pain in the body happens. At least anatomically :)
As I describe in the video above, this is why muscle spasms can happen through a range of motion (like pointing your toes or contracting your hamstrings); why pain happens through a specific range of motion, why glutes stop firing…and more.
What do you think? Have you ever experienced a pulled muscle, a strained muscle, maybe bending down to touch your toes has felt impossible before or maybe you’re aware you have a glute that’s not firing. Share in the comments! And, I’d love to know what you’re going to DO about it.

CHEST RELEASE: https://youtu.be/25V9hPKrPJ8
TRAP RELEASE: https://youtu.be/24CRpY5Y9I4
How do you eliminate pesky shoulder knots?
This is one of the best ways I know to *actually* eliminate “shoulder knots” or fascial adhesions in the upper traps. Most of my clients LOVE this Kinetix technique and yes, with time they can GO AWAY. They will come back with stress and lifestyle triggers, but with maintenance any pain associated with them will stay gone.
Shoulder tension is created by a lot of things, from posture to stress and our sports, and it’s important to keep in mind that to completely address neck pain at the ROOT level, far more areas of the fascial system would need to be explored and released. Particularly, the biceps, brachialis and chest, especially pec minor.
If you have neck pain and you’re looking to find and take care of the ROOT cause, I recommend going after your biceps and pec minor fascia. When pec minor is crazy tight it pulls our shoulders into forward rotation, which absolutely impacts the neck.
I recommend doing anything in the upper traps AFTER you release fascia in the biceps and chest.
Try this biceps release: https://youtu.be/DSCr2RCfz40
And this pec minor technique: https://youtu.be/JFovw4Lqk1I
Then, if you want to try the self-help version of this Kinetix technique, try this upper trap release using a barbel: https://youtu.be/24CRpY5Y9I4

New to my channel and interested in learning fascia release for at-home self healing and self care? Get my Beginner’s Guide to Fascia Release (FREE): https://mobilitymastery.com/beginners-guide-to-fascia-release/
Whether your self care includes fascia release, yoga, meditation, stretching or at-home workouts...I think you deserve something healthy AND beautiful to support your efforts.
I’m obsessed with functional products that are artistic and beautiful. The Ma Wovens Ritual Rug is just that, and I was thrilled to find this company last year.
There are a lot of toxic mats out there, including many that are made of recycled plastic (marketed as “eco friendly”). I stay away from those, because I don’t want to absorb plastic while sweating my way through a yoga class or rolling around on the mat doing fascia release.
Plastic is never eco friendly, and never healthy. Micro-plastics are becoming a global biohazard and have been linked to the rise in cancer rates (not to mention plastics are known to be endocrine and hormone disruptors).
There are other good options out there for non toxic yoga mats, but few (in my opinion) are as BEAUTIFUL as the Ma Wovens Ritual Rug.
Sure, it’s good marketing to call this a “ritual rug,” but ya know what? I hadn’t thought about my fascia release or stretching sessions as “rituals” until I found the Ma Wovens ritual rug...and I LOVE framing it this way.
The Ma Wovens rugs are made from organic hemp and non-toxic foam, hand woven in India and produced by a company that is woman-owned. Resources are ethically sourced and they pay their workers living wages.
I love the grippy texture contrasted with the hemp. Personally, I use the Ritual Rug for fascia release, Barre3, yoga and at home workouts.

Have you ever been angry at your body?
Have you ever wished it would just play nice?
Have you ever blamed your body for the pain you’re feeling, the discomfort, the tension, anxiety or injury you just can’t seem to heal?
Well I have a confronting question for you:
WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR YOUR BODY?
I ask this lovingly and fiercely :) xo
Hey I went through YEARS of blaming my body, hating my body, wishing my body would conform to my desires and stop pissing me off with pain and discomfort.
The truth is, your body is on your side!
Your body is trying to HELP you.
Your body’s job is to alert you when you’re in danger. That means pain, discomfort, tension, and all kinds of unpleasant sensations.
Your job is to take care of your body.
Your job is to get to know your body so well you know what it needs to thrive in your relationship of life together…not at all unlike a romantic partnership!
You’re asking a lot of your body every day - whether you’re a desk jockey or professional athlete. Not moving is stressful on your body. Moving a lot without addressing your internal health (fascia/muscles/bones/nervous system) is stressful for your body.
If you want a healthy partnership with your body, learn to welcome all of its communications with you, including pain. Be willing to take responsibility for your part in creating the pain you’re feeling. And then take steps to address it.
With diligence and commitment you can have a vibrant, trusting relationship with your body and adventure through life with confidence, unafraid of pain because you know what it means and how to take care of it.
There are many resources right here on this channel or blog that will help you take care of your body.
Share your commitment below and inspire someone else to do the same! It’s not easy doing what’s right, but it’s always worth it.

Use this technique if you have neck and shoulder pain, tension headaches or TMJ pain. If you work at a computer or use your cell phone a lot (meaning you look down frequently), I guarantee your traps and scalenes are tight. Give each side a good 2-3 minutes. If this area is extremely painful for you, try this 3-4 times a week for two weeks and it should improve a lot!
