Dear Back Pain Sufferer,

Here at Integrated Physical Therapy we have spent the last several years researching and treating pain, including back pain and sciatica and have personally helped hundreds of back pain sufferers... 

We've tested nearly every treatment, technique and product available and what we've found is most treatments provide only temporary relief, if at all. Except for Myofascial Release!

And the reason is, the treatments only address the symptom, which is the pain and they don't address the actual cause of the pain (fascial restrictions) or condition that's causing the pain.

The "Hidden Cause" of Back Pain...

There's a hidden cause of back pain... it's something very few medical or healthcare prof Instead, they'd be identifying and addressing what brought about the condition in the first place.

For example, if you were diagnosed with a herniated disc, instead of just treating the symptoms, they should be finding out what caused the disc to herniate to begin with.

Back pain does not happen overnight...

While the pain may appear suddenly, the fact is the problem has been developing for months or more likely, years.

The reason you have back pain is because your body and spine have been pulled out of their normal position and into what we call dysfunctions, by the “strait-jacket” like effect of myofascial restrictions, distorting the internal tension dynamics within the body.

If you are like most people, you move around and live your life without ever being aware that you are forcing your body to work against these restrictions, and sooner or later your body breaks down.

An example of a dysfunction can be seen in the illustration above and as you can see, there is an excessive curves in the lower spine.

 As you can imagine, it doesn't take long before this results in pain. It's very important to understand though, that these dysfunctions don't just appear out of nowhere – we create them!

Physical dysfunctions develop over time and are the direct result of imbalances between various muscle groups, what we call "muscle imbalances".

Did you know that while you may feel pain in your back, the actual cause of the pain could be the front of your spine (iliopsoas) or front of your thighs (rectus femoris / quads)?

For example, an imbalance between the muscles of the thighs can pull your pelvis and spine out of position and this dysfunction can quickly cause all sorts of problems.

 MusculoFascial Imbalances Are The "Hidden Cause" of Nearly Every Case of Back Pain and Sciatica...

What is a MusculoFascialimbalance you ask? When fascial tissue or a muscle or group of muscles overpowers the opposing muscle(s), you have a muscle imbalance. Think of it as a Tug-of-War.

When your fascia and muscles are out of balance they pull your bones and joints out of their normal position and this places them under constant and uneven stress.

For example, the position and curvature of your spine is determined by the amount of balance in numerous muscle groups like the thighs, hips and torso.

When muscle imbalances pull your spine and body out of alignment, the level of stress on certain muscles, bones and joints increases. And even the smallest muscle imbalance can over time pull you out of balance and place tremendous amounts of uneven pressure and wear and tear on your body... especially the vertebrae, discs, spine and its supporting muscles.

Why Do You Have MusculoFascial Imbalances?

There are several things that contribute to and create musculofascial imbalances such as:

1. Inflammation

2. Poor postures over time

3. Surgery and scar tissue

4. Repetitive strain, stress or injury

The full extent of the restriction depends how active you are, what activities you do frequently, if you exercise, the exercises you perform, how you sit, stand and walk, if you work, what you do for work, etc.

Also, it’s very important to note that everyone has musculofascial imbalances and as you may have already realized, musculofascial imbalances are responsible for more than just back pain and sciatica. But just to make sure you understand and grasp this concept, here’s a quick analogy to help drive home the point. What happens when you drive your car with unbalanced tires or your steering out of alignment? Your tires will wear down unevenly and quicker than normal and eventually you'll have a blowout... the same is true for your body!

Think about this for a minute...

Even if you injured your back while lifting something or gardening, we are certain that it isn’t the underlying cause. What caused it was the months and years of uneven pressure and wear and tear on your body caused by muscle imbalances. The event simply was your body finally breaking down.

 The Secret To Getting Lasting Relief Is...

In order to get long-term relief from pain and back pain, you have to start at the beginning. This means you have to identify what you have and then work towards correcting and improving your balance.

This may sound complicated, the good news is it isn’t! Just by reading this advisory you should now have an understanding of how back pain develops and because of this your recovery will be much easier and faster than most other back pain sufferers.

So how do you do find out which musculofascial imbalances you have?

Use This Simple 3 Step Formula To Eliminate Your Back Pain...

1)    Identify the Cause

a.    The first thing you need to do is identify the restrictions and dysfunctions you have and the musculofascial imbalances that have created it. Assessing whether your pelvis is level or not is KEY. We show you how to do this yourself for self treatment, so that eventually You can do this yourself by performing a series of what we call "self assessments".

We have found that there are four primary dysfunctions that are either directly responsible for, or contribute to, nearly every single case of back pain or sciatica. And you will be able to easily identify them using the simple tests we teach you in this system.

2)    Treat and reduce the Symptoms

a.    You can’t correct the problem if your pain is so severe you can’t move. So in this phase, we will help you implement various strategies to reduce and manage your pain so you can focus on correcting the dysfunction(s) that are responsible for your pain.

3)    Treat the Cause and Condition

a.    Remember, pain is just a warning signal from your body telling you that you need to fix a problem. So in this step you work on treating the cause, which is the dysfunctions and the musculofascial imbalances that created it and also implementing additional treatments and strategies that are specific to the condition you may have been diagnosed with. Hopefully at this point you are saying to yourself, this makes so much sense…

Why Didn't My Doctor Teach Me Any Of This?

There are several reasons why you likely haven’t heard of or been taught about this approach and these concepts before…

The first reason is, unfortunately, most healthcare professionals just aren’t aware of MFR. While this approach is based on an understanding of basic human anatomy and biomechanics, it just isn’t taught in the various medical schools. This is because of its energetic healing aspects.

It’s so unknown to most healthcare professionals that if you asked them about musculofascial imbalances they may not have a clue about what you are saying and even look at you as if you’re crazy! And while you may have had an evaluation or assessment performed by your doctor, it’s highly unlikely that they looked for muscle imbalances.

Another likely reason is the poor set up and design of the medical systems in most countries. For example, in the United States most patients are rushed through their appointments as the doctors have to and want to see as many patients as they can in a given day.

In Canada, many people are forced to wait months or even years just to get an appointment to be seen!

 Which Of These Traditional Back Pain Treatments Have Failed To Give You Lasting Relief?

• Physical Therapy
• Chiropractic
• Orthopedic
• Ultrasound
• Electrical stimulation

• Cortisone Shots
• Trigger Point Care Injections
• Anti-Inflammatory Therapy
• Massage Therapy
• Surgery

While some of these treatments may offer some benefit, they almost always fail to deliver lasting relief because they don’t address the underlying cause of the problem. If these options really worked so well, you wouldn't be reading this AND your back would be feeling great, right?

No one cares about your back and health as much as you do and therefore, you need to take charge.
