🤯 Back Pain Breakthrough: From 9/10 to Zero "Grabbing" Pain!

The Challenge: The Sudden SPASM ⚡️

Our client is an office worker (6 days/week) who also trains hard at the gym (5 days/week). While simply moving house, they felt a sharp, local pain—their entire lower back went into a severe spasm.

For 24 hours, the pain was crippling: 9/10 when trying to sit, stand, or get out of bed. Any rotation or extension was agony! 😩

Our Targeted Approach

Despite the client being outwardly fit with no previous serious back history, our physical assessment showed severely restricted movement and pain on lower back activation. Crucially, there was NO nerve impingement, meaning the issue was purely muscular dysfunction.

Our therapist immediately got to work with a combined approach:
- Soft Tissue Release & Dry Needling: To stop the debilitating spasm and reduce pain fast.
- Core & Glute Activation: To retrain the muscles to support the spine correctly, preventing the painful "grab."

The Incredible Outcome 🏆

The pain began reducing early in the treatment, but the final result was the best part:

✅ Pain reduced from 9/10 to 3/10 (Client's words!)
✅ Immediate improvement in range of motion.
✅ Crucially: Client got off the table and transitioned from sitting to standing with NO pain or "back grabbing" for the first time in a day!

Your ability to feel better is a team effort! If you're managing persistent pain, don't wait for it to get worse—targeted therapy works.

This month, we have been focusing on the hip flexors, but sometimes it's easy to confuse their stretch with a good old quad stretch! Both are super important, but they target slightly different areas for different benefits.

We've got two quick videos for you today! 🤩

Watch closely! Can you tell which one is which?

❓ Let us know in the comments:

🌟 Cupping Hack for Stronger Hips: Let's Talk Quads! 🌟

Tight quads are secretly sabotaging your hip flexor activation! 🤯

It works by:
- Lifting & Separating stuck quad tissue.
- Boosting Glide for smoother movement.
- Flushing the area for faster recovery.

The result? Freer quads = Hips that activate correctly! Get better movement and less strain.

Level Up Your Core: The Dead Bug Progression 🐜

You mastered the Heel Glide (great job activating those hips and core!). Now it’s time to level up your hip flexor engagement with the Dead Bug!

This exercise is the ultimate progression for HAPPY HIP FLEXORS because it strengthens your core while teaching your limbs to move independently, without letting your back arch.

Dead Bug Quick Progression:
- Start by lying on your back with knees and hips bent to 90 degrees (tabletop position).
- Engage your core (gently press low back down!). This is the most important step.
- Slowly extend one leg toward the floor.
- Only go as far as you can without letting your low back lift.
- Return and repeat on the other side.

The Dead Bug is deceptively hard—it forces deep core stability and truly trains those key hip muscles. If you're struggling to maintain form, it's a sign you need some expert guidance!

📍 Ready for a stronger core foundation? Stop guessing and start moving right! Tap the link below or DM us to book your personalised assessment and get a movement plan built just for you.

Unlock Your Hips: The Power of a Simple Stretch! 🧘

Continuing with the treatment options for the hip flexors, here is a simple stretch that can work for you.

Why stretch them? Because just a few minutes a day can improve your posture, ease lower back tension, and make every step feel lighter.

Try a simple Kneeling Hip Flexor Stretch today!

Stretching is a fantastic start, but if you have stubborn tightness that just won't budge, it means you need a deeper release. Our Remedial and Wellness treatments can target that root tension for lasting relief.

Your Secret Warm-Up Hack: Release Before You Move! 💡

Before you crush your next run, lift, or yoga session, ask yourself: are your muscles truly ready to work?

At Function Therapy Practice, we believe the best workout preparation starts with therapeutic release! Massaging muscles before exercise is crucial because it:

- Boosts Blood Flow: Wakes up tissue and brings oxygen to the area.
- Improves Range of Motion: Allows you to move further and more effectively.
- Reduces Injury Risk: Decreases unnecessary tension on joints and tendons.

🔗 Connect the Dots: Massage & Hip Health
If you found tightness during the Modified Thomas Test, the muscles along the anterior leg (the hip flexors and quads) are the culprits! Releasing tension in this area directly translates to a better test result and smoother movement overall.

Whether you need a focused Remedial session to work out a treatment plan for the leg muscles, or a restorative Wellness treatment to keep your body supple, we have the expertise to get your muscles primed for peak performance.

Don't let tight muscles hold you back! Book a treatment to loosen up and unlock your best movement.

Move Freely: Give Your Hip Flexors Some Love! 💚

Are you spending a lot of time sitting? If so, your hip flexors might be getting a little tight and sassy! These often-overlooked muscles are essential for everything from walking to running, and when they get restricted, they can contribute to low back pain, poor posture, and limited mobility.

This month at Function Therapy Practice, we're making healthy hip flexors our main priority!

🔎 Your Quick Self-Check:
Want to know if your hip flexors are tight? Give the Modified Thomas Test a try at home! It's a simple test that can reveal if your hips are holding you back from moving with full freedom.

If your test reveals some tightness, or if you're just ready to optimize your movement, we are here to help you get started with targeted treatments and effective strategies.

💡 Teamwork Makes the Dream Work: Neck & Shoulders! 💪

Our focus this month is correct neck flexion, and we believe in using the power of teamwork! Your shoulders and neck need to cooperate for that smooth, pain-free nod.

The Power Duo for Better Movement:

1. Shoulder Rolls: Think of your shoulders as the base of a crane—if the base is stiff, the arm can't move well! Shoulder rolls loosen up the supporting muscles, reducing strain that often limits proper neck movement. Happy shoulders = Happy neck!

2. Towel-Assisted Neck Flexion: This exercise provides manual support to your neck. By gently pulling on the towel while nodding, you help isolate the correct movement in the upper cervical spine, helping you avoid bad habits like jutting your chin forward. It's precise, controlled, and effective!

Ready to feel the difference? Add these moves to your routine! Small, consistent steps lead to lasting change.
