Muscle knots are a common causes of tight muscles. So says long time physical therapist and author of Tight Hip, Twisted Core: The Key To Unresolved Pain, Christine Koth. In today’s episode, she explains what a muscle knot actually is, as well as how to treat tight muscles.
Christine explains how very flexible people can suffer from joint instability. Hyper mobility can be a cause of back pain for this reason. The high levels of the hormone relaxin found during pregnancy cause ligaments to relax. Joints become looser and less stable. This is a common cause pregnancy back pain, specifically SI joint and tail bone problems.
We talk about anterior pelvic tilt as a common cause of chronic back pain and other musculoskeletal conditions. Christine explains the procedure for an anterior pelvic tilt test that you can do yourself.
