🔵 Chronic Low Back Pain

Understanding the Real Background Behind Your Pain — Beyond the Lower Back Itself

Chronic low back pain is one of the most common complaints worldwide.

Many people are told
“Your MRI/X-ray shows no abnormalities”
and yet the pain continues.

This is not unusual.

Globally, nearly 80% of low back pain cases are considered “non-specific”, and by 2050 the number of people suffering is expected to exceed 800 million.

In other words, chronic low back pain cannot be explained by muscles or bones alone.
It is a complex, multi-system condition.

Why Chronic Low Back Pain Is So Difficult to Resolve

Low back pain does not simply occur because
“something in your lower back is damaged.”

More often, it develops from a disruption in whole-body coordination, including:

■ Tension in Visceral Membranes (Serosa & Mesentery)

When the membranes surrounding organs such as the intestines or liver become tense,
they reflexively alter lumbar muscle tone and restrict mobility.

■ Neuro-reflex–driven Muscle Hypertonicity

Stress in the organs → autonomic overload → persistent tightening of lumbar muscles.

■ Fascial Restrictions and Impaired Glide

The fascial network connects:

abdomen
diaphragm
hips
lower thoracic & lumbar spine

When one region loses glide, the entire chain compensates, increasing lumbar load.

■ Breathing, Posture, Movement, and Daily Habits

Shallow breathing patterns and habitual movement errors
place constant pressure on the lumbar spine and pelvis.

👉 Chronic low back pain is not just a “back problem.”
It is the result of disrupted interaction among organs, fascia, nerves, breathing, and movement.

Our Approach at Enmeidou Kurashiki

Not “forcing alignment,” but creating the conditions for your body to self-organize

We view chronic low back pain as a story of the entire body, not an isolated issue.

■ Integrated Assessment: Organs × Fascia × Nervous System

We carefully evaluate the “invisible domains” underlying chronic pain.

■ Restoring Fascial Glide (Gentle, Non-Forceful Techniques)

Rather than pressing strongly or manipulating aggressively,

we locate the points where the body naturally begins to release.

■ Rebuilding Diaphragm Function & Intra-abdominal Balance

When the diaphragm moves well, lumbar tension decreases significantly.

■ Down-regulating the Nervous System Load

We address visceral reflex patterns, autonomic imbalance,
and the overprotective responses that maintain chronic pain.

Our goal is to activate your body’s innate ability to reorganize and heal.

Chronic Low Back Pain Rarely Resolves in a Single Session

Chronic pain often develops over years.
Even if it feels lighter temporarily, old patterns tend to return.

A realistic and effective process includes:

precise evaluation
appropriate manual therapy
breathwork and lifestyle improvements
necessary movement retraining (FMT)

We work with you to create a sustainable healing pathway
—at a pace that fits your life and goals.

First Step: Identify the “Pattern” Behind Your Pain

Your pain may arise from:

visceral tension
fascial restriction
diaphragm dysfunction
autonomic stress
sacroiliac compensation
movement inefficiency
…or a combination.

Correctly identifying the pattern is essential for meaningful change.

We evaluate each link: organs, fascia, nerves, diaphragm, posture, and movement
to determine the best sequence of care.
