It connects the spine to the lower limbs and plays a crucial role in transferring force, maintaining balance, and supporting efficient movement.

Pelvic instability is not always something people are aware of, but it is often a hidden contributor to ongoing pain, reduced performance, and

When people think of lower back pain, they usually blame their spine, hips, or poor posture. But there’s another muscle that often flies under the radar, yet has a major influence on back health - the latissimus dorsi. At Essbee Myotherapy , we often see cases where a tight or overactive latissimus dorsi is contributing to, or even causing, ongoing lower back discomfort.

If you've ever had an ACL injury, or know someone who has, you probably know how frustrating and painful it can be. ACL tears are one of the most common sports injuries out there, and they don’t just happen to elite athletes. The surprising part? The cause isn’t always where the pain is.
