Passive Stretching to the Forearm - In

Dawn Morse of Core Elements Training demonstrates, treatment couch based, passive stretching to the wrist flexors and extensors of the forearm.
This is a really useful in treatment stretch to use for clients that have limited mobility of the wrist joint, and those who may be suffering with carpal tunnel or medial or lateral epicondylitis of the elbow (golfers or tennis elbow).
These techniques can be used within the middle of a wider sports massage treatment, or at the end of the treatment, with the aim of lengthening the muscle group.
PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) is an excellent way to lengthen muscle tissue, to reduce muscular tension and to help restore range of motion and tissue health, and can be used at any stage within a wider soft tissue treatment.
These are examples of the techniques covered in Core Elements accredited, Couch Based, Passive Stretching CPD course.
Core Elements Training delivers a range of accredited Sports Massage and Sports Therapy based qualifications and short courses.

Hi, I have tightness in my lower back - Erector Spinae and both QL muscles. I am not sure if my Erector is inflamed, but the QL definitely is. If I laterally bend or tilt my hip up on either side the QL lights up with inflammation. My lower back sometimes aches during the day during movement, but it mainly aches when sitting. I also have a different pain at night. I wake up 4 or 5 hours into sleep with inflammation on my spine in the L1 location. Luckily I can reposition my body and fall back to sleep, but I tend to wake up 5 or 6 times a night feeling this pain and having to adjust my sleeping position. The only other times I can feel this spinal inflammation is when I lie on a hard floor, or someone presses on that vertebra. I assume that seeing as my QL is noticeably inflamed when I do certain movements and that it attaches to the L1 vertebra, it is probably the tendon of my QL that attaches to the L1 that is in pain. Please let me know your thoughts on this. Should I consider/rule out other muscle involvement and if so, which muscles should I look at? Also, is it likely it's the tendon of the L1 that is inflamed, or could it be the tendon pulling on the spine causing something within the spine to become inflamed? thanks.

very sorry to hear about your back pain.
i can’t provide recommendations without physically seeing the person concerned and assessing them.
I would recommend seeing a sports therapist or physiotherapist, as they will be able to assess your condition and then provide treatment for you.
I hope you manage to resolve your pain soon.
