Why the Low Back Isn’t the Problem (Part 1)
from Aligned With Dr. Nicole Addison Hosted by Dr. Nicole Addison
Low back pain isn’t random - and it’s rarely just a “back” problem. In this episode, we break down the mechanics of the pelvis, sacrum, and SI joints through the lens of functional anatomy. Instead of chasing symptoms, we zoom out to understand how the pelvis actually transfers load, creates stability, and influences what the low back experiences during everyday movement and training. You’ll learn why the SI joint isn’t meant to be “fixed” or forced back into place, how asymmetries in pelvic motion can change stress through the lumbar spine, and why stability is less about muscle strength and more about timing, coordination, and force transmission. Whether you’re dealing with low back discomfort, rehabbing an injury, or simply want to understand how your body really works, this episode will help you rethink pain, posture, and movement - and give you a clearer framework for building resilience from the ground up.
