Test to see if your back pain is related to Hip Extension

Limited hip extension is a common but overlooked cause of low back pain. When the hip cannot fully extend, the lumbar spine compensates, creating excessive stress during walking, running, standing, and stair climbing. This repeated lumbar hyperextension can irritate joints, discs, and nerves. Poor hip extension also alters posture and gait, increasing spinal load. Restoring hip extension is essential for long-term, non-surgical low back pain relief.
