study interpretation

Hi guys, I actually don´t have any injury or pain issues, so I understand if you do not answer this question.
I have been reading lately to improve my knowledge about pain and challange my biases. I found this study : https://www.thespinejournalonline.com/article/S1529-9430(06)00178-1/fulltext
They found association between LBP and neuromuscular imbalance in athletes with LBP. If I understand correctly BBM crew do not believe in imbalances causing pain (me neither). So my question is - How would you explain relationship between pain and imbalances?

Don’t you think it’s possible (likely, even) that having pain could alter neuromuscular function, rather than the other way around?

I would recommend reading this paper: http://www.cpdo.net/Lederman_The_myt…_stability.pdf

Hey guys whats up !
