Just because they can't 'find' anything does not mean there isn't anything wrong. Not all conditions that cause back pain will show up on an MRI or xray (especially soft-tissue damage).

They take a rest in the full squatted position, focusing on there breath as well as posture. If in pain go to the bottom in small sequential movements. Take ur time n use the pain response as an indicator, move slowly. Take this position as often throughout the day(at least 5x/day for a minute). Thank you again, Anthony for such a wonderful resource. In Asian countries people dont stand or sit as often as people here in the US.

Any lack of motion in the key areas of foot, hips, thoracic, cervical, scapula, can cause too much motion and hence instability in the lumbar segments.
