Repeated Lumbar Motion to Improve Gait Quality

http://themanualtherapist.com - Pt status post right tibial fracture and repair. Mostly done with rehab, function returned but gait deviation not corrected with manual therapy and ther ex to lower extremity. Had deviation with lumbar extension in standing to the right, indicating loss of ability to load left lumbar spine. Repeated left lumbar loading improved gait. Given for homework. 2 days later gait further improved along with right hip tightness/pain.
