Much like a patient advancing through Dr. The early chapters review the functional anatomy and injury mechanisms of the lumbar spine while challenging many commonly held beliefs and laying the foundation for the rest of text.
Other approaches, which have been based more on neurophysiological research on the joint protection mechanisms, base their exercise treatment on a problem solving approach and, more importantly, on the impairments that develop in these mechanisms, in low back pain patients.
These impairments are different in each patient, and depend on issues such as the specific location of the injury, lifestyle factors, and pain. The impairments in muscle recruitment patterns result in some muscles becoming less active or inhibited and others becoming more active, less fatigable, and tight.
