In this ‘ask us anything’ episode hear about pelvic tilt, asymmetry, and the answers to whether massage guns help and if core bracing is beneficial
Rob shares great content and clear explanations about what actions will make a difference and discusses the importance of movement in this informative episode 
 
KEY TAKEAWAYS

Pelvic tilt is commonly blamed by people for their pain
Asymmetry is perfectly normal in the human body and doesn’t correlate with increased pain
The body adapts best to being outside of neutral comfort zones
Our bodies are designed to bend, lift, stretch and twist moving beyond the neutral zone
The back benefits from load and this can reduce pain
Massage guns help you to undertake soft tissue work
Soft tissue work can help reduce pain for some people changing the input from a painful area of the brain
If you want to increase blood flow to an area moving is the most effective way to achieve this is by moving
Often core bracing is used in the short term
Bracing for the first few days is fine but you should be exploring movement
Often patients with back pain think they have a weak core but in reality, patients with back pain have an overactive core
Deep breathing and movement can help with relaxing the core

 
BEST MOMENTS
‘Sometimes bracing your core can help you to initially achieve a movement with less pain’
‘What people have been avoiding can be the key to unlocking recovery and improvement’
