More often, it builds up over time—quietly, gradually—until one day it’s hard to sit, stand, or sleep without discomfort.
And while painkillers or stretching might offer short-term relief, they don’t always get to the root of the issue.
That’s where body alignment comes in.
It might sound strange, but the source of your back pain might not be your back at all.
Sometimes it’s a restricted pelvis.
Sometimes it’s a locked-up upper spine.
Sometimes it’s years of sitting, slouching, or compensating for an old restriction you didn’t even know you had.
When your body is out of alignment, certain muscles and joints start doing more work than they were designed for.
That extra strain can lead to:
Proper alignment isn’t about being perfectly straight or symmetrical.
It’s about balance.
It’s about how your bones, joints, and soft tissues work together when you move.
When your body is aligned well:
All of that adds up to less tension, better movement, and fewer pain signals firing off throughout the day.
Your spine is your body’s central support column—but it doesn’t work in isolation.
If your pelvis is restricted, your spine has to compensate.
If your shoulders are rounded forward, your lower back might arch to keep you upright.
If one leg moves differently than the other, your whole gait can shift—and your back feels the impact.
That’s why treating back pain isn’t just about stretching the back.
It’s about restoring motion and balance throughout the entire body.
Bodywork can help restore alignment—but your daily habits matter too.
Here are a few simple ways to support your spine and reduce back pain:
1. Move often
Sitting too long in one position creates restriction.
Get up and move every 30–60 minutes.
2. Strengthen your core
A strong core supports your spine and reduces strain.
3. Stretch what’s tight
Pay attention to areas that feel stiff or limited.
Gentle stretching can help restore balance.
4. Check your posture
Whether you’re driving, working, or scrolling, small adaptations go a long way.
At Natural Motion Myopractics, we take a full-body approach to back pain.
Instead of chasing symptoms, we look for the underlying restrictions that are throwing your body out of sync.
Using soft tissue manipulation which includes joint mobilization, we help:
It’s a hands-on work that helps your body function better—so you can feel better.
A client comes in with nagging lower back pain.
They’ve tried foam rolling, stretching, even a new mattress—but nothing sticks.
During their session, we find that in addition to noticeable tension in their back, their pelvis is restricted and one leg is functionally shorter.
After working through the soft tissue around the pelvis and spine, their posture shifts, their gait evens out, and the back pain starts to ease.
Not because we “fixed” the back—but because we helped the body move more freely again.
If you’re in Mesa or Queen Creek, Arizona and dealing with back pain that just won’t go away, Myopractic care might be the missing piece.
