How to Treat Lower Back Pain: Why a Whole-Body Approach Works Best

How to Treat Lower Back PainLower back pain is one of the most common issues people face – and one of the most frustrating. Many try stretches, exercises, or massage only to experience temporary relief. That’s because real healing comes from understanding how to treat lower back pain in a way that restores balance to the muscles and joints, while also reducing stress and supporting the overall health of the body.

At our Christchurch clinic, we specialise in a holistic, kinesiology-based system that treats the cause, not just the symptoms. By combining muscle reflex resets, no-force alignment, Jin Shin Jyutsu, and targeted homeopathic remedies, we help your body return to its natural healing state quickly and effectively.


Why Lower Back Pain Requires a Complete Approach

Back pain rarely comes from a single source. It is usually a combination of:

  • tight, overworking muscles

  • weak muscles that have “switched off”

  • joint stiffness

  • stress and nervous system overload

  • digestive or hormonal tension

  • old injuries causing compensation

If you only treat one part, the pain returns.
But when you treat the whole body, everything begins to rebalance.

 

1. Muscle Reset Reflexes (PRRT & Chapman’s Neuro-Lymphatic Reflexes)

Instead of traditional exercises, we use advanced reflex techniques that reset the way the body functions at a neurological level. These techniques create fast, powerful change – often within minutes.

✔️ PRRT Reflexes (Primal Reflex Release Technique)

PRRT addresses the deep, protective reflexes the body switches on when it feels threatened or stressed. These reflexes tighten the lower back, hips, and pelvis and can stay stuck “on,” creating constant pain and stiffness.

Through gentle tapping, pressure, or specific reflex release patterns, PRRT helps:

  • switch off overactive pain reflexes

  • reduce muscle tension and spasm

  • calm the nervous system

  • restore smooth, pain-free movement

Many clients feel relief almost instantly because PRRT resets the brain’s protective responses.

✔️ Neuro-Lymphatic Reflexes (Chapman’s Reflexes)

When the body is under stress, fatigued, or compensating for an old injury, important stabilising muscles shut down. Chapman’s Reflexes are powerful points along the ribs, abdomen, and hips that directly reactivate these weakened muscles.

For lower back pain, Chapman’s points help:

  • switch on glutes, abs, and spinal stabilisers

  • improve pelvic alignment

  • enhance lymphatic flow and reduce inflammation

  • restore proper muscle firing patterns

We teach clients how to stimulate these points at home so improvements continue between visits.

✔️ Why These Reflexes Work So Well Together

PRRT relaxes the muscles that are too tight.
Chapman’s Reflexes activate the muscles that have switched off.

Together they create the perfect combination:

👉 Tight muscles release
👉 Weak muscles wake up
👉 Joints realign naturally
👉 Pain reduces quickly
👉 Movement becomes easy again

This is one of the fastest and most effective ways to restore strength, stability, and comfort to the lower back.

 

2. Jin Shin Jyutsu SEL #15 – A Key Point for Back Pain, Posture & Healing

One of the most powerful self-care tools we teach is SEL 15, located in the groin crease on both sides.
Holding this point for 3–5 minutes can create remarkable improvements in both structural health and overall wellbeing.

✔️ Helps Heal Sprains & Strains

SEL 15 assists the body in repairing:

  • ligaments

  • tendons

  • strained muscles

It supports natural tissue healing and is excellent for lifting injuries, sports strains, gardening mishaps, or long-standing tightness.

✔️ Rebalances Posture Automatically

When you hold SEL 15, the pelvis begins to correct itself.
This reduces lower back compression, frees the hips, and supports better spinal alignment without force.

✔️ Releases Lower Body Tension

SEL 15 helps release tension in the:

  • lower back

  • hips

  • thighs

  • pelvic floor

You often feel lighter, more upright, and more grounded afterward.

✔️ Supports Whole-Body Health

JSJ points work on both structure and energy.
Holding SEL 15 calms the nervous system, improves circulation, and helps the whole body reset – which is essential for chronic lower back pain.

 

Why Our Approach Works So Well

Most treatments focus only on the painful area.
Our system restores balance to every part of the body involved in back pain:

  • overworked muscles

  • weak stabilisers

  • stressed nerves

  • misaligned joints

  • hormonal or digestive tension

  • emotional stress load

This is why clients often feel improvement on their very first visit – and sustained relief with the simple at-home techniques we teach.

If your lower back pain keeps returning, this whole-body approach is the missing link.
