Back Problems (Sacroiliac, kissing spine, muscle strain)

Back Problems Protocol

(Including Sacroiliac, Kissing Spine, Muscle Strain, Instability)

Protocol:

Begin with the Basics Course to learn proper tape handling, stretch, and technique. Use the Back Module and/or Practical Solutions applications specific to the affected area and severity (e.g., Basic Back Application (Module Or Beyond The Basics Course) for muscle relaxation, Pre/Post Chiropractic Back Application (Practicial Solutions) for chiropractic care, Level 2 or 3 Back Applications (Module) for athletic stabilization, advanced support, or injuries to the quadratus lumborum or multifidus). For sacroiliac (SI) issues, use the SI Support application (as demonstrated in the Fundamentals and Beyond the Basics Courses). For muscle strain or instability, use the Back Support application (Module) technique with the Decompression technique (targeted over problem areas). For kissing spine, use the Back Module Level 2 or 3 applications to support decompression and muscle relaxation along the thoracic and lumbar spine. For severe cases, combine with the Circulation application (Practical Solutions) to enhance healing and reduce inflammation. After resolution or for chronic instability, use the Fascia Chain application (Module) to restore fascia health and prevent recurrence.

Tape Type:

• Advantage 2" (recommended for most back and SI applications)

• Advantage 3" (for Circulation applications, larger horses, or extended coverage)
