Loading in flexion is said to contribute to lumbar intervertebral disc protrusions. Others say that theory causes fear, and leads to avoidance of flexion, which is perfectly safe and people should be loaded through the full lumbar spine ROM for normal function. Should you use it? Is it safe?

In this webinar, listen to Mark Laslett discuss the theory and evidence of the dynamic disc model and make your own mind up about the role of loaded lumbar flexion in rehabilitation.
