Why your pain wont go away.
Whether your goal is to stay healthy or get long lasting relief from your pain you should know that back pain - or any disease for that matter - develops  as a process.  Overtime your body (ie spine and hips) can be pulled out of its normal position and into what are called dysfunctions.  These dysfunctions result from muscle imbalances between various muscle groups.
 
In simple terms, a muscle imbalance occurs when you have overdeveloped and tight muscles in one area of your body while the opposing muscles are weak and stretched out of their normal position.
 
These imbalances can happen anywhere on the body and often develop as a result of the routine things you do while at work, how you sit, stand and walk, if you exercise, the exercises you perform etc. 
 
As your muscles get more and more out of balance you end up pulling yourself out of proper alignment thus producing even more stress, leading to additional wear and tear on muscles, ligaments, joints, and even the spine.
 
As you can imagine it doesnt take long before this results in postural dysfunction and pain.
 
Here are just a few examples of conditions that can develop as a result of muscle imbalances:
•  Sacroiliac (SI)
•  knee pain
•  Joint syndrome
•  hip pain
•  Iliotibial band syndrome
•  neck pain
•  sciatica
•  headaches
•  frozen shoulder
•  all forms of back pain
