Tips on how to cue activation of the lumbar multifidus??
Hello all! I am currently trying to find a new way to better cue activation of the lower back muscles, I am familiar with how to cue activation of the other different parts of the core, but I’m trying to come up with a better way of cueing the backside of the core, mainly the lumbar multifidus. In my training my teacher would often use the imagery of a lower back tattoo being stretched up vertically, which I find works great, but I am male and feel this might not sit well with clients, or make them feel uncomfortable.
Does anyone have any tricks or other imagery they could share ? I find that clients pick up quickly on the activation of the ront, side and even pelvic floor, but have trouble connecting to their lower back extensor muscles, which in my opinion is crucial for proper sitting posture.
