Lower back pain is a common concern affecting a significant portion of the population. Often, this discomfort arises from the psoas muscle, a substantial muscle located in the lower lumbar region of the spine, extending through the pelvis to the femur. When this muscle becomes excessively tense and hypertonic, it can lead to lower back pain, a condition known as hypertonic psoas muscle, and iliopsoas syndrome. In this article, we will explore Evo Therapeutics’ comprehensive protocol for treating hypertonic psoas muscles and associated lower back pain, combining clinical massage therapy and Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) therapy to provide effective relief.
Understanding Hypertonic Psoas Muscles
Hypertonic psoas muscles can result from various factors, including prolonged inactivity, poor postural habits, injury, or overuse. In this state, the muscle becomes excessively tense and contracted, contributing to lower back pain, discomfort in the hips and legs, and limited range of motion.
The Role of Clinical Massage Therapy
Clinical massage therapy is a cornerstone of Evo Therapeutics’ protocol for addressing hypertonic psoas muscles. Skilled massage therapists adeptly recognize areas of muscular hypertonicity and employ techniques such as deep tissue massage, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy to release muscle fibers, alleviate tension, and alleviate pain and discomfort. These techniques disrupt fascial adhesions, augment local blood circulation, and promote a return to a healthier state of muscular tone in the psoas muscle.
Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) Therapy: A Catalyst for Healing
Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) therapy plays a pivotal role in Evo Therapeutics’ protocol by accelerating the healing process. FSM therapy administers specific frequencies tailored to target the psoas muscle, affording precise pain relief. Notably, FSM frequencies have demonstrated the capacity to reduce inflammation, enhance blood perfusion, and support the regeneration of injured tissues. Furthermore, FSM’s role in increasing adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production by up to 500% plays a pivotal role in healing damaged structures, including ligaments, that may contribute to muscular hypertonicity.
Evo Therapeutics’ Protocol: An Assessment-Centric Approach
Evo Therapeutics’ protocol begins with a meticulous assessment of tissue mobility and strength. This comprehensive evaluation helps identify areas of muscular hypertonicity and underlying factors contributing to lower back pain. By gaining a deep understanding of the patient’s unique condition, our practitioners can tailor treatments to address specific needs effectively.
Treatment Sequence
Our protocol typically starts with soft tissue treatment aimed at reducing hypertonicity in muscles, followed by FSM therapy. This combination approach not only helps alleviate pain and discomfort but also fosters the healing process by reducing inflammation and increasing ATP production.
**Treatment Sequence: Hypertonic Psoas Muscles and Lower Back Pain**
1. **Assessment**:
– Thorough evaluation of tissue mobility and strength.
– Identifying areas of muscular hypertonicity and underlying factors.
2. **Clinical Massage Therapy**:
– Techniques: Deep tissue massage, myofascial release, trigger point therapy.
– Goals: Release muscle tension, alleviate hypertonicity, reduce pain.
– Benefits: Enhance blood circulation, promote healthier muscular tone.
3. **Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) Therapy**:
– Targeted delivery of specific frequencies.
– Precise pain relief, inflammation reduction, and tissue regeneration.
– Notable ATP production increase (up to 500%) for accelerated healing.
**Reasoning for the Treatment Protocol**
– **Assessment**: Tailors treatments to the patient’s specific needs, identifying problematic areas.
– **Clinical Massage Therapy**: Relieves hypertonicity, improves circulation, and restores healthy muscular tone.
– **FSM Therapy**: Precision pain relief, inflammation reduction, and enhanced healing, particularly beneficial for damaged structures like ligaments contributing to hypertonicity.
Collaboration with Qualified Healthcare Professionals
Evo Therapeutics emphasizes the importance of seeking guidance from qualified healthcare professionals who are well-versed in our protocol. Our specialized practitioners can perform comprehensive assessments and formulate tailored treatment plans, including massage therapy, FSM sessions, targeted stretching exercises, and supplementary therapies as needed. This collaborative approach aims to alleviate pain and enhance muscular tone effectively.
Hypertonic psoas muscles can be a significant source of lower back pain, but Evo Therapeutics’ protocol offers a medically sound and comprehensive solution. By combining clinical massage therapy and Frequency Specific Microcurrent therapy with a diligent assessment-based approach, individuals can achieve significant relief from lower back pain and a substantial improvement in muscular strength and mobility. Collaboration with qualified healthcare professionals is key to identifying underlying causes and crafting effective treatment plans. Evo Therapeutics’ early intervention approach holds the promise of a pain-free and optimally functioning lower back and musculoskeletal system.
