Segmental Mobility Drills

We are big fans of learning to articulate each vertebra and move in a segmental fashion, which means striving to move one vertebrae at a time, for low back [P]Rehab! Instead of gross flexion or gross extension movements, the goal of segmental mobility is to bring more awareness to your spine and literally imagine moving one vertebrae at a time.

These types of drills and movement control are typically going to help those that are lumbar flexion intolerant - meaning bending forward is uncomfortable OR you can’t flex from your lower back (mike!). This is VERY common after an old back injury like a herniated disc. Your back (and brain) will learn that flexing in certain segments of your spine is not comfortable and thus, even when the inflammation and actual tissue insult has subsided, your body still won’t want to move from those particular segments!

The only way to teach your body and brain that it’s okay to flex again in these regions is to actually push into it. That’s where the segmental motion drills like these come in.

You may find that at a certain point your back feels “stiff” or “uncomfortable” - that is totally normal! We want to retrain your brain to move through those stiff regions again. 👏
