Back pain with knee

[scir]

Hi Folks
thanks for your replies.
Ramywhite I think piedalu is also called gillet test and looks at relative movement of illiac on sacrum during hip flexion functional movements

I though I give you a patient update
Patient felt better for 2 weeks, further massage and some stretching relieved the back pain and the knee pain and increased her general lumber and hip mobility.
During a third appointment she experienced immediate burning pain in the knee during lumbar extension in prone.
So that rung a Spondylolisthesis bell for me and I have sent her for x-ray before continuing treatment

I agree that there is an element of cycle of pain. All the muscle hypertension and pain + lack of mobility could well have been a guarding mechanism that we have decreased hence allowing for the root cause to come through.
I'll keep you posted

If the patient experienced burning at the knee during extension, the spine is restricted in extension at probably at L3-4 segment or throught out from L1-5. What did the radiographs say?
