Lower back pain during training is one of the most common patterns we see. People feel strong in parts of a workout and then their back tightens or aches without a clear reason.

A frequent driver is tension in the hip flexors.
Sitting for long periods leaves them tight and weak at the same time, and that changes how the pelvis moves. When you load a body that is already stuck in that pattern, the lower back often does more than it should.

In the Movement Check sessions, Marielle and Emily look for this straight away. Releasing or stretching the hip flexors can reduce how much the back has to stabilise under weight. It is a small change, but it often shifts how the whole movement feels.

When you understand why your lower back reacts, training becomes steadier and less irritating.

If your back keeps flaring up in the gym, a Movement Check can help you understand the pattern and adjust safely. Book your session.

A lot of people train consistently but still end up with sore necks, shoulders or backs. The common frustration is not knowing why the exercise that is meant to help keeps irritating something.
From what we see, it often comes back to mismatch.
The movement of the exercise does not match the movement of the person. If there is tension, imbalance or a restriction, the exercise loads the wrong area long before it strengthens what you were aiming for.
This is why having the right diagnosis, the right exercise selection, and then applying that exercise properly forms a chain. If one part is off, the body compensates and symptoms show up.
We assess this all the time at Recharge. Sometimes the exercise is fine, but the body needs loosening first. Sometimes the body is ready, but the exercise choice is wrong for the pattern. Sometimes the technique just needs a simple correction.
A clear assessment lets you train without guessing.
If you want your program matched to your body, book a Movement Check. Injury proof your training and train with more confidence.

A common mistake in the gym
Following generic programs that do not match how your body actually moves.

Many routines overload already tight anterior muscles while the posterior chain is under supported. When exercise movements do not align with what the body needs, tension increases and symptoms often appear in the very areas that needed to loosen.

Training should restore balance, not reinforce restriction.

Understanding this can help you move with more confidence and fewer setbacks.

We did a trick or treat stand out the front of the clinic, with a “treat” for the adults of a discounted first consultation.
A few people took up the treatment however the chocolate was the most taken up offer!

Why So Many People Stay Dizzy - and What Can Help

If you’ve ever been told to “just rest” when dizzy, or been given vertigo exercises that didn’t help, you’re not alone.

The most common cause of vertigo is a condition called Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV). What most people don’t realise is that there are five different types of BPPV - and each one responds to a different treatment.

This is why generic advice or a one-size-fits-all exercise doesn’t always work. In fact, using the wrong approach can sometimes make symptoms worse.

The good news is that with the right diagnosis and the right treatment, BPPV can often be resolved quickly, giving people back their balance and quality of life.

👉 In our upcoming FREE online session, Principal Osteopath Cameron Kealy will explain what BPPV is, why standard advice often fails, and what can actually help.
