In January we hosted Whitfield Reaves, OMD, L.Ac. for his third FREE Lhasa OMS Webinar: A Contrarian Approach to Treating Low Back Pain: Using the Gluteus Medius, the Quadratus lumborum, and the SI joint in the Treatment of Low Back Pain
About this webinar:
Whitfield Reaves discusses what he calls the “triad” of low back pain. That is the gluteus medius, the quadratus lumborum, and the SI joint. These three structures are often involved in lumbo-sacral pain, as they play a significant role in stabilization of the spine and the pelvis. The gluteus medius and the quadratus lumborum, additionally, generate and refer pain throughout the low back, hip, and gluteal region. The practitioner may overlook these structures, and may find that taking an approach away from the Taiyang channel and using a more Shaoyang approach often rewards in the clinic.
