Low back pain can be caused by a muscular imbalance in the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex and corrected by a personal trainer

The most common example of a way that muscle imbalances occur is when one is seated for many hours everyday. There can be many muscles responsible for these imbalances but the following muscles mentioned here are the most common.	The psoas and iliacus muscles of the deep hip flexor complex which are responsible for hip flexion are in a constant state of flexion while in the seated position. This causes them to become tight and pull on the lumbar spine and top of pelvis. Special stretches preformed by a qualified trainer can correct this imbalance.	The Gluteus maximus or better known as the buttocks are always in a constant state of extension while in the seated position. This causes them to become under active and weak, not able to pull the pelvis and lumbar spine into proper alignment. A qualified trainer can prescribe the appropriate exercises to strengthen and tighten the gluteus maximus.	It can be observed in the illustration above the muscular imbalance of the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex. The tightened psoas and iliacus of the deep dip flexor are pulling the lumbar spine and pelvis forward, which can cause the lower back pain very common in the 80% of all adults.
Hunched forward shoulders caused by imbalances with the muscles attached to the scapula and humerus can be corrected with personal training and close personal trainer supervision

Being hunched over a computer is not the only way to cause rolled over shoulders. Carrying heavy shoulder bags for extended periods of time, especially as a youngster growing up can cause significant imbalances.	Having the shoulders always rolled forward causes the trapezius muscles to be in a constant state of extension, causing them to be weakened and unable to bring the scapula back in alignment. Exercises intended to strengthen these muscles can be prescribed by a qualified trainer and can help to correct the imbalance.	When the shoulders are constantly rolled forward the pectoralis minor muscles which attach to the front of the scapula are in a constant state of flexion, causing them to become tight and pull the shoulders forward. Corrective stretching techniques can be administered by a qualified trainer to bring the shoulders into proper alignment	The body is complex with many muscles that can cause the imbalance but the primary culprits are the ones mentioned to the left. A fitness assessment done on the initial interview can determine what is going on and an effective corrective program can be implemented.
