Sustained Isometrics for Low Back Pain

This week's MMT Pro Tip, I go over Sustained Isometrics for Low Back Pain. I have been having unilateral left sided low back pain. It responds to some things like H-Wave and repeated trunk rotations, but I'm always looking for more solutions. I'm use isometrics to modulate pain during repeated loading in my courses and with patients, but quickly switch if they don't modulate pain within a few quick reps. I tried a sustained isometric and after 2-3 min, it completely relieved my unilateral pain. The pain did not increase during it, which is probably important, it remained the same until it just abolished. This made my sideglides in standing mostly pain free except mild at end range. I will try this next in future spinal patients as well. Try it and lmk how it works for you! Clinician?
