Tight Lower Back

The lower back carries feelings of being unsupported financially and/or emotionally and of wanting to “back out” of relationships or situations, as well as fear of change and insecurity.

We offer these suggestions based on our own experience and understanding, but what works for one person doesn’t always work for the next. So please always work with your own intuition, keep checking in and doing what feels right for you on your path to better health.

Other things to try

Think back to when your lower back pain began. What was going on in your life at the time? Lower back pain can be caused by feelings of being unsupported financially and/or emotionally or with life changing events that reveal deep layers of fear and insecurity.

Review core beliefs and thought patterns around security, money, safety and ability to adapt to change. Try to focus on the present moment, appreciating that all is well now. 

Rest where you can and connect to nature at every available opportunity, to help to ground and connect you to the here and now.
