Preface

It will be assumed by this writer that the reader is well founded in functional anatomy and the involved in a practice of Manual Medicine.  I will present issues that I believe are not commonly covered in basic anatomy or training courses.  I offer this presentation as fodder, raw material for artistic creation.  Please do not take this as a manual on how to fix low backs. I am not sure that low back pain can be “fixed.”  Some heals itself with time.  Sometimes we can relieve symptoms and reduce suffering.  Sometimes all we can do is to help others help themselves.  

It is my hope that my efforts here will spurn you on to make your own inquisition starting where I have left off.  For those taking on the journey:  God speed and God bless you.  For the rest, I hope you find this informative and maybe even entertaining.

I defined a practice of Manual Medicine as being a forum through which a practitioner. utilizing a multimodality approach, assists others in relieving their discomfort, dysfunction, and pain.  The particular combination of modalities available for use will be dependent upon each individual practitioner, their skills, their interests and their training.  In many cases, it will also involve psychological, energetic, emotional and spiritual endeavors as well.
