HM: L Low Back Pain R 4C Schroth 8 Months Post Pregnancy (1-13-20)
Basic Description of you posture
You present with a right thoracic prominence and left thoracolumbar prominence meaning when you bend forward that is where you can see the curvature. Your pelvis shifts slightly to the right which typically signifies that you put more weight into your left leg and left buttock when sitting or standing. Below is a video where I talk about some of the postural corrections.
The video below is for a slightly different Schroth classification: The hand placements are the same but your pelvic is slightly shifted to the right so opposite of the video you need to bring your pelvis to the left and try to feel weihgt pushing down more into the right foot
Movements that can be completed everyday multiple time per day: 5-10 reps of each at a time
Goal: With the daily movements you want to feel like you are lightly moving areas of your body without causing pain. Any of these movements if pushed too far can cause pain. If no matter how easy you are doing a movement, it still increases back pain, then stop doing that movement completely
Post Seated/Standing Options
Step Lunge: Get a Mild Stretch in the Front of the hip without back pain
Seated Ab Iso/Press Down
Strength Sequence: 8-20 reps for each movement, Go through the sequence 2x
These Movements can be done every other day
These movements are meant to begin to challenge you and typically we do not want to challenge the same muscles everyday.
If some of them feel really good and you want to do it everyday, just make sure that you are not pushing into fatigue everyday. For example: The weighted pullover below most patients like as a good stretch that gets their arms overhead. You can do that movement 1 day with light to no weight just to go through the motion. Every other day you want to have a weight in your hand that feels slightly challenging to where your arms are shaking or you feel some fatigue
Movement #1: Weighted Pullover
Movement #2: Bridge: 2 options below, pick the one that feels least painful
