Question · Lower Back & Pelvis
My back buckled when I stood up while holding my child
Park Yang-suFascia and muscle careIdeally, I should first explain the principles of mid-wiaekhak and non-mid-wiaekhak in technical terms, but....... To make it easier to understand, I suspect that while carrying your child and exerting force with your upper body twisted, one of the five lumbar vertebrae shifted slightly and the muscles were strained. Sometimes it improves after about 3 weeks, but if it persists, please seek help from a professional. In cases like this, it is difficult to heal on your own.
