Low Back Pain – Evaluation

Always do a thorough intake and make sure the client seeks a qualified medical professional if you suspect the pain is coming from something other than bad posture, misalignment, or overuse.

Evaluate posture and alignment – are there significant differences between left and right sides?

Discuss and watch the client doing ordinary tasks – how do they sit in chair, get out of bed, reach for something on a shelf. Can these be done in a more comfortable and efficient way?
