Track three things to assess your mobility: how far you can move before pain, how fast you can start the movement, and your confidence in the position. Your vestibular system, not just your spine, controls how your back moves and feels.

Get an idea of how confident are you moving in that position? How far can you go before it hurts? How quickly can you go into that movement? These are all data points for you to measure when we do an input to see if the result is positive or negative. So, let's just use the lower back as an example, and let's just say if someone's in pain and they bend over and they can only get to here and they're, oh, it hurts. Okay. Okay, what we want to do is say, okay, what's happening here? What are the other systems involved? The vestibular system is one that's a big player in the spine, so we may do some vestibular exercises to see if it helps improve the back.
