PART 1️⃣ | HOW TO HELP: Iliolumbar ligament

A great way to create stability in the back is by inducing some form of flexion or extension with an isometric or concentric rotation or side, bends through the spine ! 🔃

Because the spine has to stabilize and hip as well, and we put a little bit of attention in the back, and we move slow slowly through the motions above we can then create stability in the back when we’re faced with these awkward motions, like getting out of the car or reaching for an object that might have us bend a little bit awkwardly. 🚙

By building stability in these positions, whether it’s flexion extension side, bending and rotation, we can then discern that we will be stronger in these and prevent injuries from occurring ❤️‍🩹

When your care team works together, your results get better 🙌

Combining therapies like osteopathy, physiotherapy, and acupuncture isn’t just about doing more—it’s about doing it smarter.

✨ Why a collaborative approach works:

• Whole-body care: Each practitioner sees a different piece of the puzzle

• Better communication: Shared insights = more accurate treatment plans

• Faster recovery: Treatments complement each other instead of overlapping

• Personalized support: Care is tailored to you, not just your symptoms

💬 When practitioners communicate, you’re not just getting treatment...you’re getting a team invested in your health.

Physiotherapy isn’t just about muscles… it’s about your nervous system, too ⚡

Symptoms like numbness, tingling, burning pain, weakness, or poor coordination aren’t random—they can be your body signaling something deeper.

At Vitality Village, Ismail takes a whole-system approach, looking at how your brain, nerves, and body work together—not just where it hurts.

Because lasting results come from treating the source, not just the symptoms.

If this sounds familiar, it’s worth exploring.

Part 1️⃣ | Anatomy Analysis: Ligament Edition

We are looking at the Iliolimbsr ligament! Let’s dive in and take a deeper look! 🧐

The iliolumbar ligaments are strong, band-like connective tissues connecting the 5th lumbar vertebra (L5) transverse processes to the iliac crest. They serve as critical stabilizers of the lumbosacral spine, restricting mobility of the sacroiliac joint. Injuries, commonly due to excessive rotation or flexion, can cause chronic lower back and groin pain. 💁‍♂️

💥Key Aspects of the Iliolumbar Ligaments💥

Anatomy:
Primarily connects the L5 vertebra to the posterior iliac crest, though they can span from L4 to the iliac bone. They are considered a key part of the vertebropelvic ligaments. 🦴

Function:
These ligaments restrict sagittal mobility of the sacroiliac joint (SIJ), providing stability, especially for the L5 vertebra on the sacrum. 🔃

Iliolumbar Ligament Syndrome:
Injury often results from repetitive bending/twisting (common in golf or heavy lifting) or trauma, leading to pain in the lower back, buttock, and groin, often mistaken for sciatica. ⚡️

Understanding our anatomy is very important and understanding how force transfers to the body and where things are supported can help us prevent and rehab any kind of injury 🩹

PART 3️⃣ | HOW TO HELP, Muscle EDT: 💥Subclavius💥

Sometimes the only way to release a muscle is by working it backwards 🧐

With subclavius, we want to restrict the movement of the clavicle in different direction so that can be depression, elevation protraction, and retraction as subclavius asked to restrict over mobility of these movements. 💁‍♂️

By going through these movements and restricting the clavicle, it will inhibit the subclavius and calm down, therefore hopefully allowing the clavicle to come off the rib cage ✅

😴 If your baby struggles to settle or stay asleep, it might be more than just a sleep phase.

Tension in the body can make it harder for babies to get comfortable and fully relax.

👐 Gentle pediatric osteopathy can help release tension and support more settled sleep.

✨ When babies feel better in their bodies, sleep often improves.

PART 1️⃣ | Anatomy Analysis: Nerve Edition ( Subvlavian Nerve )

👉The subclavian nerve (nerve to subclavius) is a small motor branch arising from the upper trunk of the brachial plexus (roots C5 and C6).

👉It descends anterior to the subclavian artery and trunks of the brachial plexus to innervate the subclavius muscle, stabilizing the clavicle and sternoclavicular joint.

💁‍♂️Key Anatomical & Clinical Details:

💥Innervation:
Primarily supplies the subclavius muscle.

💥Variations:
It often contributes an accessory phrenic nerve to aid in diaphragm innervation.

💥Location:
Passes anterior to the brachial plexus and subclavian artery.

💥Clinical Significance:
Due to its location, it is susceptible to injury during clavicular fractures or surgeries in the neck/shoulder region.

👉 The nerve can be used in nerve transfer procedures to the inferior trunk of the brachial plexus due to its proximity and motor axons. It is generally considered a nerve of the superior trunk of the brachial plexus

HOW TO HELP | Transverse ABS

We know the transverse abs are deep 💁‍♂️

We need to engage some kind of external force inducing side bending or rotation through the spine to engage it while we breath through a motion 🔄

There are many motions that can achieve this but this one I like in particular for its low impact nature! 🫡

Take your time and have fun with it ✅

ANATOMY ANALYSIS | Muscle Edition: Transvers Abs

The transversus abdominis (TrA) is the deepest of the six abdominal muscles, wrapping horizontally around the torso like a corset from the ribs to the pelvis. As a primary core stabilizer, it supports the lumbopelvic region, increases intra-abdominal pressure, and supports the abdominal viscera, crucial for protecting the lower back.

💁‍♂️Key Aspects of the Transversus Abdominis:

💥Location & Structure:
Situated deep to the internal oblique muscle, it is a flat muscle layer running horizontally, extending between the thoracolumbar fascia, the anterior two-thirds of the iliac crest, the inguinal ligament, and the lower six ribs.

💥Primary Function: It acts to compress the abdominal contents, stabilize the spine and pelvis, and assist with forced exhalation.

💥Activation/Exercise: The most effective way to engage the TrA is through the abdominal draw-in maneuver—lying on the back with knees bent and drawing the belly button toward the spine (or floor) without holding the breath.

💥Clinical Importance: A weak or delayed TrA contraction is often associated with non-specific low back pain, making its activation essential for core stability rehabilitation.

💥Innervation: It is supplied by the lower five intercostal nerves, the subcostal nerve, and the iliohypogastric/ilioinguinal nerves (T7–L1).
