The cause of most low back pain

from physical therapy secrets podcast-Stretch away muscle pain using safe stretches that target the tight muscles causing pain

The main cause of  most low back pain is a shortened Psoas muscle.  This muscle attaches to each of the low back vertebrae and causes compression to this area as well as tilting the pelvis forward, making muscles contract and having us arch to stand erect.  Long term compression on the vertebrae breaks down the lumbar discs, causing bulging or herniated discs and degeneration to our spine.
