Guitar Lower Back and Pelvis Pain: The Foundation Protocol Card (Guitarist's Body Series)

A 3 Step system to relief guitar playing tension and pain. Designed by a Manual Osteopath and Guitarist with 18 + years working with guitarists in pain.

The base you sit on controls everything above it. Most guitarists have never once thought about their pelvis

while playing. That's usually where the problem starts.

When your pelvic foundation is off, your spine compensates, your shoulders brace, and your arms work harder

than they should. The tension you feel in your neck and hands often starts here.

The Framework

This Protocol Series works the pelvis and lower back as a system, not just a symptom. It is a targeted system designed to eliminate lower back fatigue and hip stiffness, It moves through three distinct phases:

• Phase 1: Release — Unlock the chronically shortened tissues in the front of the hips and the thoracolumbar junction that are pulling you out of alignment.
• Phase 2: Reset — Reprogram your nervous system to find a neutral, anchored seated position without having to force it.
• Phase 3: Rebuild — Reactivate the stabilizing muscles (like the glutes) to build the endurance required to sit and play for hours pain-free.

What You Get:

• 1 High-Resolution Digital Protocol Card (PDF): A premium, beautifully designed guide perfect for viewing on an iPad or printing for your music stand.
• Clear Anatomical Visuals: Step-by-step illustrations showing exactly how to execute the specific releases and resets. 9 exercises across three phases: Release, Reset, Rebuild™ with custom anatomical illustrations, clearinstructions, and sets/reps for each exercise.
• A Simple Daily Structure: No complex jargon. Just a clear, progressive path you can use before every practice session.

Print it, stick it on the wall, or pull it up on your phone before you play.

No gym required. Minimal equipment for most exercises.
