A dysfunctional diaphragm can contribute to lower back pain. Since the diaphragm is part of the intrinsic core along with the TVA, pelvic floor, and multifidus, if any muscle involved in the extrinsic core, like the rectus abdominis, psoas, obliques, etc becomes weakened, the diaphragm and compensate and tighten, leading to back pain. NKT often finds the diaphragm overactive and the psoas and abs underactive. This article details how strengthening the diaphragm can rehab the core muscles.

The tibialis posterior can be the bane of a runner's existence. Symptoms of an overly tight tib post include deep calf pain and foot pain. The tib post also passes through the tarsal tunnel and can cause swelling, lack of blood flow, and nerve impingement. 

NKT often finds the tib post overworking and the tib anterior underworking in cases of medial shin splints. We also find it overworking and the medial hip flexors underworking in foot oversupination. This article details what is a tibialis posterior strain and what can be done about

To release the pelvic floor muscles do this. NKT would then activate the abs, psoas, multifidus, glutes, etc.
