@Conor_Harris_ You need to remember that LBP/ hip pain can be caused by a HUGE multitude of factors. An in depth knowledge of human anatomy, body mechanics and muscle imbalance is essential before you embark on a treatment regime.
@AdamMeakins The first one is facilitated flexion- the weight actually helping to direct the flexion downward by being assisted by gravity (unless doing ecc work) Similar to how a treadmill facilitates jogging.
Using the acupuncture points ‘the eyes of the knee’-the knee is at 90 degrees and the needles go into the joint space, can be miraculous at ridding ‘stagnation’ in TCM and hugely reducing knee pain.
Research suggests ‘the needling effect’ is the effective mechanism, not steroid.
