Serratus posterior inferior & low back pain

[finchr]

I have found that muscle pain is usually the result of movement dysfunction involving joints as well. What movemets are limited and either provide lasting reilef or discomfort? Ilet the pt lead me to the answer. You can chase pain all day at times or it continues to reappear . We have to treat the symptoms obviously but the true magic occurs when we find the cause so the problem remains abolished.. If you find a referral pattern then it is supposed to occur. It just is otherwise it wouldn't occur. Don't get hung up on that. Can you change the Sx. Treat what you think is he problem and if it goes away and stays away you are on mark.
A lot of muscle Sx are the result of an not the primary cause. Why does a select muscle overwork or not?? There are reasons. Again we have to treat the Sx as well as why it did ths in the 1st place? Fascinating stuff

Hi finches,
yes I agree with you and I am trying to fix the cause and not only treat the spot that pain is more active..
In this case , with the Serratus patient , I checked his whole muscle system and I figured that he has very strong legs ( all the basic muscles) but he has weak low back muscles ,erector spinae, multifidi,QL,...
also he used to exercise his rectus abdominis usually..
I believe he has a muscle unbalance and the problem very often as he says is located in low back , QL and Serratus..

In this case try ruling out the lumbar spine(discs, ligaments,etc) by using the McKenzie assessment (McKenziemdt.org) or ruling in as the case may be. This helps to narrow the possibilities. By using a thorough methodical subclassification such as Sx response to movement and position (force) often the orgination of Sx can identified. Muscle imbalances routinely accommodate these.

I will try this method also...thank you very much for your help and your advise..
