What if there was a way to measure how much stiffness you are generating around the spine and correlating that number with how much weight you lift to determine your risk of pain? That's exactly what Sean is researching and the topic of our conversation. Sean is a DPT, PhD, OCS, FAAOMPT and we cover how he measures spinal stiffness using a Tindeq scale and a modified lifting belt.
