Press Release: MVMTLAB's case of an elite athlete with low back pain
Innovative Assessment Uncovers the Root Cause
Dr. Jeff Almon, DC, founder of MVMTLAB, utilized the Entry Point Assessment system to uncover a surprising connection between the athlete’s low back pain and a previously undiagnosed primary shoulder inhibition and dynamic instability. During the assessment, Dr. Almon discovered that forced joint centration of the athlete’s left shoulder allowed them hip hinge - to lift both legs without pain—an insight that revealed the body’s compensatory mechanisms were overloading the low back muscles to protect against shoulder instability.
Immediate Results Through Targeted Treatment
Using a combination of advanced manual therapy techniques and neuromuscular treatment inputs, Dr. Almon treated the athlete’s shoulder and surrounding tissues, sending corrective movement signals to the central nervous system (CNS). The results were immediate: the athlete was able to lift both legs and perform full hip hinging movements without pain. This rapid improvement highlights MVMTLAB’s ability to address the underlying causes of dysfunction rather than merely treating symptoms.
Long-Term Solutions with DEFRAG and Ground Control
To ensure sustained recovery and performance, the athlete underwent the DEFRAG Assessment, a proprietary system designed to identify and correct motor pattern inefficiencies. Based on these findings, the athlete was prescribed Ground Control exercises, a specialized program focused on enhancing stability endurance with an emphasis on shoulder stability. This comprehensive approach ensures that athletes not only recover but also build resilience to prevent future injuries.
