Taking the Spine Into the Clinic

Jean asks the practical question, when you check the spine what does that actually mean, and the room gets specific about thoracic versus lumbar and where pain points you. Steven's same-day case lands it: a man who had not crossed his leg pain-free in about a year and a half does it after one seated thoracic-lumbar extension, plus Laura's nursing-home bowel protocol of sit-to-stands and trunk rotation.
