E.
-Multifidii release: A modification on a technique Anthony learned some time ago, and he modified based on his clinical experience. This technique helps treat ongoing low back pain and stenosis and differentiates pain from disc vs non-disc when the SLR is below 20 degrees. By releasing the multifidus muscles more space is created within the spinal column because it is attached to the ligamentum flavum. This is a new addition to the soft tissue courses in 2020, and will be taught in the NYC and Chicago seminars.
