Should We Rethink Core Stability for Low Back Pain?

Below is a video interview of Dr. Peter O'Sullivan who discusses current beliefs around spinal stabilization is regards to low back pain. You will be surprised to hear what he has to say. 

Key points from the YouTube clip below:
-There is no single factor to cure low back pain.
-The current system leads us to believe that bracing the spine is good for our low back. This causes increased compression to the low back. 
-Movement is healthy and physical activity is good for low back pain, but there is currently not enough evidence to say that stabilization training is not better than other forms of therapy or exercise.    
-Positive thinking of the spine and developing healthy movement patterns is a fundamental component in the treatment of low back pain. 
-Trust the strength of the low back and do not pre-tense the low back prior to movement. 
-Our current society promotes that the spine is a vulnerable structure. We need to change this model.

My personal thoughts: 
-As therapists we need to educate against the pathoanatomy as the cause of one's symptoms. For example, the MRI impression is often not the cause of the problem in mechanical low back pain.
-We need to educate patients that the spine is a strong structure. 
-Certain individuals with low back pain are overworking the spine by performing too many core stability exercises and excessively pre-tensing. This is not a healthy movement pattern.   
-Motor control is a key factor in the treatment of low back pain. We need to change the timing of the muscles around the low back and in turn change the poor movement pattern. While over-engaging the abdominals and low back stabilizers can be detrimental, it is necessary for the TrA to contract prior to movement initiation. Focus on the timing of muscle activation and educate against excessive bracing of the 'core muscles.'  
-Gluteal muscle strength and the proper pattern of gluteal muscle activation is very important in the treatment of low back pain. Remember that each muscle needs to play a role (mobility or stability). If stabilizers are being used a prime movers or vice versa, problems will arise. 
-A patient's daily posture (sitting, standing, sleeping, dynamic) will affect the muscle length-tension surrounding the spine. Changing one's daily postures is a great place to start if you are having difficulty with your lumbar evals.
