LUMBAR STABILITY THROUGH REGIONAL MOBILITY
• Craig Faeth, PT, ATC, CSCS, FAFS(FMR), NG 360 GPS
• Fellow of Applied Functional Science
Identify tri-plane mobility restrictions of the lower extremities and spine. Understand the direct and indirect relationships between regional movement dysfunction and lumbar spine dysfunction. Increase understanding of the lumbar spine biomechanics during gait, running, lunging, squatting, and other primary physical skills related to athletic participation and competition.

Apply functional mobility exercise that is at the same time isolated from and integrated with the low back.
Understand application of resistance to support functional improvement without isolation to the lumbar spine.

Sciences (the world we live in), Biological Sciences (the miracle of the human body), and Behavioral Sciences (the

Principles are the why of movement. Strategies are the how of movement.
Techniques are the what of movement.
Three dimensional -sagittal, frontal, transverse.
Chain Reaction – proximal and distal joint linkage.
Driven – task, external, internal.
Subconscious – complex stabilization and muscle synergies happen
subconsciously.

5
Three dimensional – matrix training or
deliberately isolating, while integrating, a
particular plane of motion
Chain Reaction – direct versus indirect
mobilization, manipulating the triangulation
(angulation, verticality, horizontal), to achieve a
desired chain reaction.
Driven – use of external drivers consistent with the task can help change restrictive internal drivers, as well as create an
environment for proprioceptively consistent functional strengthening.
Subconscious – core activation (anterior and posterior) as a result of reflexive proprioceptive activity; lumbar deceleration
of GRF proportionate with hips, thoracic spine and feet.

Utilizing the principles, which have lead you to your
strategies, the techniques are virtually endless,
highly individualized and customizable.
The possible techniques are only limited by your
imagination.
Manual therapy and exercise intervention often
become seamless applications.
Gravity and GRF - used or
confused
Mass and Momentum - leveraged
or neglected
Motion - 3D or 1D
Reaction - chain or link
Muscles - reactor or actor
Joints - integrated or isolated
Mobility/Stability - combined or
segregated

What body positions do we use for exercise?
What drivers do we use to facilitate the
performance we are looking for?
Do we leverage proximal and distal segments to
achieve our desired chain reaction?
Do we try to achieve stability through mobility?
Assessment Strategies Traditional - Local

Myotomes - manual muscle testing
ROM - challenging to measure with accuracy
Segmental instability testing - unreliable, and difficult to
localize
Positional deformities - easy to palpate, but leave no
reasons for why they are there
Nerve root compression tests - valuable in defining tissue
of lesion, not in explaining the “reason” for the lesion
Traditionally soft tissue mobility has been thought of and evaluated as muscular restriction, spasm, tenderness or nodule identification.
Powerful information coming from the Fascial Research Congress
(http://www.fasciacongress.org) is beginning to reshape what we think about the role of connective tissue in human function.

Transformational Zone
Deceleration to
acceleration
Notice the rotation and
counter rotation
Stand up.
Put your hands on your waist.
Step forward with your right foot.
Notice the your pelvis rotates in this case to the left.
With normal and natural arm swing, your shoulders
would rotate to the right.
You are in the TZ of gait.

11
Right foot pronation (STJ) at heel
strike, with calcaneal eversion.
Tibiofibular (ankle) internal
rotation.
Knee flexion, IR, abduction.
Femoral (hip) internal rotation.
Pelvis - anterior rotation, left
lateral flexion, left rotation.
Absorbing GRF
flexion - femur and pelvis both moving
internal rotation - from the ground up; femur moving faster than the pelvis.
adduction - midstance
All necessary for proprioceptive stimulation of the supporting musculature.
8/24/2015
12
Transverse plane - left rotation
Frontal plane left lateral flexion
Sagittal plane - anterior rotation
SI joint motion is present
(counternutation, R SB, R rot),
but globally moving in the
same direction as the pelvis.
L5-S1 relative motions -
extension, right side bending,
right rotation (real bone motion
in space left rotation).
Biomechanics naming of motion in the spine is for the proximal segment on distal segment motion.
8/24/2015
13
The same relative motions would occur
between each lumbar vertebrae, up to
the thoracolumbar junction or lower
thoracic spine, depending on your
information source.
At some point, due to the opposite
rotation of the shoulders relative to the
pelvis, there would be a segment or two
with no relative motion.
With shoulder rotation opposite of pelvic
rotation, the thoracic spine can drive
dysfunction from the top down.
Thoracic spine immobility is a major factor in
limiting good proprioceptive abdominal
activation.

SO HOW DO YOU ASSESS ALL THAT?
In-sync Spherical Matrix

Driving the trunk into side
bending with the hands or
shoulders.
Feet positioned in wide and
narrow stance.
Looking for restricted segmental
motion, pelvic reaction.
Driving the trunk into right and
left rotation with the hands or
shoulders.
Feet positioned in neutral width,
toe-out and toe-in.
Looking for restricted segmental
motion, pelvic reaction.
8/24/2015
16
Driving the trunk into flexion and
extension with the hands.
Feet positioned in neutral width,
R foot forward and L foot forward.
Looking for restricted segmental
mobility, pelvic reaction.
Functional Movement Screen (FMS) Deep squat (hands over head)
Hurdle step (proper stride mechanics?) In-line lunge (resist rotation?)
Shoulder mobility (towel stretch? Thoracic spine side bending?)
Active SLR??? (where is the function?) Trunk stability push-up
Rotary stability Good performance usually is rated as extremity
mobility with pelvic or core rigidity?

To keep the lumbar
spine from taking the hit,
you would need:
left hip extension and
external rotation
thoracic spine extension,
left side bending and right
rotation
To keep the lumbar spine from
taking the hit, you would need:
Right hip IR, abduction in
flexion.
Left hip ER, adduction,
moving into extension.
Thoracic spine right rotation
and left side bending, while
flexed.

To keep the lumbar spine from
taking the hit, you would need:
Right hip flexion, IR,
adduction.
Left hip ER, extension,
adduction
Thoracic spine flexion, right
rotation and side bending.
Lumbar soft tissue must be able to handle large eccentric load to explode.
