@fixingpain: Mike came in with pinching in his low back and a knot that shows up after leg day. Started side-lying, sinking into the QL, thumbs rolling through it while his top leg stretched and extended back to open the fascial line. While working that ilium, I felt tension and densification running up his lateral line — so I followed it. Traced that chain all the way up into his lat and into his armpit, and it gave him even more relief than the low back work alone. This is the difference between chasing pain and following the tissue: when you feel a change, go with it. Follow that line wherever it takes you — it's what makes you a more efficient therapist. 💪 #FixingPain #LateralLine #ActiveReleaseTechnique #MyofascialRelease #MassageTherapy
