truck driver

Symptom(s) & the cause

lower back discomfort at work, causing great discomfort at night time. Aggreavates during driving, eases at stretching.

Examination

left leg longer than right about 2-3mm, right pelvic laterally open, right ankle twist inward, suggesting that anterior tibialis might be shortened as overused for driving.

loosening all tight muscles including bilateral quadriceps, anterior tibialis, gluteus max/mid/mini. Improving shoulder movement by passive joint articulation technique.

After retest lower back discomfort has decreased significantly and moves more freely. Went home so happlly. he still sees me once a month for maintenance and his well-being.
