Smooth and Integrated Movement Patterns Can Help Individuals With Back Pain
The thesis by this Physiotherapist reads well and makes sense to me at least in light of the above and your comments ‘It is possible that the changes in movement and spinal control are epiphenomena. If spinal motor control is indeed becoming “more executive” then perhaps treatment should be focused on factors that might influence this such as cognition, body perceptions, and the meaning of the pain to the individual’ .
This study using principles from the Feldenkrais awareness through movement approach seem to me to be sensible as a person learns to trust , inhabit and make sense of their own sensory system in a non threatening environment .
