Heidi Hadley delves deeper into the subject of stretching and explains why it can actually tighten the belly of the muscle further, leading to pain and injuries.  You will learn in greater detail how the brain to muscle communication works when pandiculation is used to reduce muscle tension, pain, poor mobility and pain.  Heidi will also explain why the common belief of “strengthening the core” is leading to more lower back pain and why strengthening isn’t always the answer to lower back pain and sciatica.  From this podcast you will understand why pandiculation is the missing link with many people’s back pain rehab program.
