The reflection "anti-pain"
To better understand this reflection, we will illustrate with an example. It is easy to understand what happens when we suffer a sprained ankle. The muscles responsible for stabilizing the joint contract with the aim of "securing and protection" injured ligaments. To escape the pain, we change support the foot and gait. All this is done automatically and unconsciously by the neuromuscular system. Over time, you can go to a physiotherapist for LBP. Perhaps because of their current pain is due to reset their joints had to do to walk without pain when I had the ankle sprain.
These compensations that our body makes to avoid or hide the pain, require an overview of the deformity and the symptoms. Under this conception and following the above example, we should not only treat the result, ie, back pain, but also the good support of the foot.
