Objectives To test the effect of adding neural mobilization (NM) versus myofascial release (MFR) to stabilization exercises (SE) on disability, pain, and lumbar range of motion (ROM) in patients with lumbar spine fusion (LSF). Design A single blinded, Parallel groups, randomized controlled ...
Foam roller exercises -- also known as self-myofascial release, or SMR -- are used to break tight knots in the connective tissues around the muscles and tendons. According to the National Academy of Sports Medicine, you can use this technique before and after training sessions to improve tissu...

Lordosis is a curve seen from the side in which the spine is bent backward. There is a normal lordosis in the upper (cervical) spine and the lower spine or lumbar spine. People with scoliosis develop additional curves to either side of the body, and the bones of the spine twist on each...
There is a normal lordosis in the upper (cervical) spine and the lower spine or lumbar spine. People with scoliosis develop additional curves to either side of the body, and the bones of the spine twist on each other, forming a C or an S-shaped scoliosis curve in the spine. Scoliosis ...
Possible spinal deformity (loss of lumbar lordosis, and kyphosis). Sacroiliac joints may be tender to palpation. Decreased range of motion of the lumbar and cervical spine. Reduced expansion of the chest. The Schober’s test is used to measure lumbar flexion; <5 cm of flexion is considered ...
Grieve et al. [22] evaluated the influence of foot plantar self-myofascial release (SMR) technique with a tennis ball on hamstrings and lumbar spine flexibility. The results indicated an immediate effect of 2 minutes of SMR on the relaxation of hamstrings and lumbar spine muscles. The authors,...
