      Hey guys,

      Great community here!
      I’ve been trying to find out what is it exactly that you are testing the active straight leg test for.
      I know it is to see if you can raise your leg(s) without overextending your back; but what if soemone over extends, what can you do then? Just do the bracing sequence and then the person has learned how to keep a neutral spine and its ‘bye bye back pain’ ?
      Thank you guys!
