Core Dysfunction & Orthopedic Conditions

Low Back & Hip Pain

Goal: Identify the underlying cause of pain for a personalized treatment plan.

  • Postural & Movement Assessment – Identifying muscle imbalances, mobility restrictions, and movement compensations.
  • Pelvic & Core Stability Testing – Checking for weakness in the pelvic floor, glutes, and deep core muscles.
  • Joint & Soft Tissue Evaluation – Determining hip joint alignment, lumbar spine mobility, and muscle tightness.

Goal: Reduce inflammation, muscle tension, and nerve irritation.

  • Manual Therapy & Myofascial Release – Hands-on techniques to ease muscle tightness, improve circulation, and restore mobility.
  • Joint Mobilization – Gentle movements to restore hip and spine alignment.
  • Stretching & Mobility Work – Focused on hip flexors, hamstrings, and lower back to release tension.
  • Breathing & Relaxation Techniques – Reducing stress-related tension and improving deep core activation.

Goal: Strengthen the core and hips to provide better spinal support.

  • Deep Core Activation – Strengthening the transverse abdominis, multifidus, and pelvic floor for spinal stability.
  • Glute & Hip Strengthening – Exercises like bridges, clamshells, and step-ups to improve hip control.
  • Dynamic Core Training – Functional exercises that engage the entire core and back to improve movement mechanics.

Goal: Improve body mechanics and prevent future pain.

  • Postural Awareness Training – Teaching neutral spine alignment for sitting, standing, and daily activities.
  • Gait & Movement Retraining – Improving walking mechanics and hip coordination to reduce strain.
  • Safe Lifting & Bending Techniques – Protecting the spine and hips from overuse injuries.

SI Joint Dysfunction

  • Joint Mobilizations to correct SI joint misalignment and restore mobility
  • Soft Tissue Release for tight muscles affecting SI joint movement (e.g., piriformis, hip flexors, glutes)
  • Myofascial Release & Dry Needling (if needed) for pain relief and muscle relaxation
  • Teaching proper body mechanics to prevent aggravation
  • Modifying daily activities, exercise form, and lifting techniques
  • Pregnancy/Postpartum Adjustments for SI joint stress during and after pregnancy
  • Core Activation (deep abdominal and pelvic floor muscles)
  • Glute and Hip Strengthening to improve SI joint support
  • Functional Movement Retraining to reduce strain on the joint
  • Progressive Load Training for long-term stability
  • Kinesiology Taping for support and pain relief
  • Heat, Ice, or Neuromuscular Stimulation if needed
  • Guidance on Bracing (only if appropriate for temporary support)
  • Teaching self-correction techniques
  • Guidance on returning to exercise and daily activities safely
  • Strategies for flare-up prevention and long-term joint health

Postural & Core Weakness

  • Soft Tissue Release & Myofascial Techniques to address muscle tightness and restrictions
  • Joint Mobilizations to improve spinal and pelvic alignment
  • Neuromuscular Re-Education to restore proper muscle activation patterns
  • Deep Core Activation (focusing on transverse abdominis, pelvic floor, and diaphragm)
  • Progressive Strengthening to improve endurance and stability in functional movements
  • Dynamic Core Integration through exercises like planks, bridges, and anti-rotational movements
  • Ergonomic & Postural Education for sitting, standing, and movement efficiency
  • Body Awareness Training to reinforce proper spinal alignment
  • Gait & Movement Pattern Correction to prevent compensations
