Your lower back is the powerhouse that keeps your spine supported and your movements strong. It’s made up of a group of muscles that work quietly behind the scenes, helping you bend, twist, lift, and stand tall every day. Understanding these muscles can help you move smarter and prevent pain.

Erector Spinae: Long muscles running along your spine. They let you straighten up, bend backward, and stay upright.

Multifidus: Tiny stabilizers along your spine that help hold each vertebra steady during movement.

Quadratus Lumborum (QL): Deep muscles on the sides of your lower back. They help you bend sideways and stabilize your hips.

Lower Latissimus Dorsi: Assists in lifting and pulling while supporting your lower spine.

Gluteus Maximus (bonus!): Works with your lower back to extend your hips and maintain posture.

Austin has expanded his skillset through advanced training in dry needling and spinal mobilization techniques, which have had a big impact on how he helps patients move and feel better every day. His hands-on style and commitment to continuing education mean you’re always getting thoughtful, up-to-date care.

Outside the clinic, you’ll likely find him tuned in to WBLM for some classic rock vibes 🎸 or catching up on episodes of Yellowstone!

We’re lucky to have Austin on the Accel team! If you see him around the clinic, be sure to say hi 👋

With plenty of snow on the ground, it’s a perfect opportunity to enjoy everything winter has to offer. Whether you’re skiing, snowshoeing, sledding, or simply soaking in the fresh air, getting outside can boost your mood, support your physical health, and keep you moving all season long. Stay safe and enjoy the snow!

Mid-back stretches are a great way to improve mobility and relieve tension throughout the spine.

Start by standing with your feet set wide and your weight evenly distributed. Reach one arm up toward the ceiling as you gently rotate through your upper and mid back, keeping the movement slow and controlled. If reaching high or down toward the floor isn’t comfortable or accessible, you can place your hand on a chair, coffee table, or yoga block for support. The goal is a gentle stretch—not forcing the movement.

As always, move within a pain-free range and stop if anything feels uncomfortable.

Did you know that neck nerve irritation at the C5–C6 level can sometimes show up as pain along the shoulder blade before you even notice arm symptoms?

This happens because nerves in your neck connect not just to your arms, but also to the muscles and skin around your shoulder blade. Physical therapy can help by improving posture, strengthening neck and shoulder muscles, and gently easing nerve irritation — often reducing pain and helping you move more comfortably.

Curious to learn more? Check out our latest blog post here: https://accelptme.com/2026/02/10/why-neck-nerve-irritation-at-c5-6-can-cause-pain-along-the-shoulder-blade/

If you’ve been feeling unexplained shoulder blade discomfort, it might be worth checking in with a physical therapist to see if your neck could be part of the problem!

Maine Clinic’s Quarterly In-Service 📚

Last night we were able to host Dr. Sarah Shubert with Northern Light Orthopedics. It was a very productive meeting with a lot of information shared.

It’s wonderful when we can all come together and discuss what the latest, most evidence-based practices look like.

There is a lot to consider with any surgery and the rehab process following that procedure. Not every rotator cuff or joint replacement is the same. Staying current and open discussions like this help us all, but most importantly it helps you, the patient!

A huge thank you to Dr. Shubert for taking some time to connect with our group of PT providers.

Wellness Wednesday 💪🧍‍♂️

Did you know the muscles of your upper back are often weaker than the muscles across the front of your chest? When those imbalances are combined with stiffness in the thoracic spine and rib cage, it can lead to pain, rounded shoulders, and poor posture. Strengthening the upper back and improving mid-back and rib mobility can make a big difference in how you move, feel, and sit or stand throughout the day. Your posture isn’t just about looks—it’s about function and comfort!
