Hi Jayney7

I have often heard this term used but never really understood what it meant.

Here is a definition that I have found for you:

"Mechanical pain is the general term that refers to any type of back pain caused by placing abnormal stress and strain on muscles of the vertebral column."

I hope this is of some help to you.

Wishing you much peace

Think SLR usually refers to straight leg raise and positive indicates possible disc problems in the spine and mechanical shoulder is sometimes called Mothers shoulder.
