It&#8217;s gripping because it&#8217;s been handed a job that belongs to somewhere else in the chain, a joint above it or a joint below it that stopped doing its share. Foam rolling, stretching and more crunches don&#8217;t touch that, because they treat the guard instead of the reason it&#8217;s standing post. In this video I run you through the principle nobody explains properly, then the four causes of a lower back that won&#8217;t let go: the hip flexor, thoracic rotation, the brace, and the hamstring. Each one comes with a test you can run on yourself right now, and the loaded corrective that actually sticks. Not stretching, not rolling. Fix the joints that clocked out and the lower back stands down on its own.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udfaf Want the full corrective protocol with progressions? \ud83d\udc49 Grab the Mobility Kit: https:\/\/movesmethod.com\/yttk<br \/>\n\ud83c\udfaf Want me to find where your chain is breaking down? \ud83d\udc49 Apply for 1:1: https:\/\/movesmethodprogram.com\/apply<\/p>\n<p>Making Moves Podcast: https:\/\/creators.spotify.com\/pod\/profile\/vanja-moves1\/<\/p>\n<p>Follow for daily movement tips:<br \/>\nInstagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/vanja.moves\/<br \/>\nInstagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/movesmethod\/<br \/>\nInstagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/joshfearfit\/<\/p>\n<p>Comment below which of the four tests you failed hardest.
