Back pain and NKT

It’s always interesting when a client shows up with a complaint of Back Pain. Taking a complete history of any surgeries, accidents, traumatic injuries is the most important part of the mystery. The history can answer a lot of questions about what is going on in the body and can reveal a pattern of dysfunction. Running through the NKT protocol, depending on my findings, back pain could send me to the client’s gluteal region, to the lumbar region or upper thoracic region. I also keep in mind, “what’s going on in the front of the body?”

With the help of the NKT protocol it’s easy to narrow down the main issue of the “Back Pain”. My favorite dysfunction to uncover is back pain caused by the restriction of breathing. We all breathe but we all do not Breathe Deeply. I cue my clients to imagine 2-2 liter bottles on each side of the chest. Imagine filling both sides all the way to the top to make the tummy rise. And then to empty them completely of all the breath before refilling. Depending on the findings from he NKT protocol, I sometimes take the client through 3-4 breathing exercises allowing the lungs to really expand and allow the back pain to release.

My second favorite and common dysfunction is scars and adhesions. If scars are not tended to they can continue to grow Into adhesions. Adhesions are bands of scar tissue that will join two body systems that are not usually connected. Adhesions develop because the body is attempting to heal itself. Abdominal surgeries, back surgeries, accidents, babies, endometriosis, PCOS, etc. are examples of instances where scars and adhesions occur in the body.
