The ability to walk is valuable for Williamson lifestyle. How many times a day do you think about walking? How many times are you grateful for being able to walk? Most Williamson folks don’t give walking a second thought until we or a Williamson loved one can not do it or is not able do it as effortlessly as we did at one time. Chronic non-specific low back pain is apt to affect Williamson back pain patients’ motor control while walking. It is suspected that the erector spinae are working intensely in these patients, resulting in a stiff lumbar-pelvic region and tougher time walking.
