A scan doesn’t direct rehab. Assessment does.

Before anything else, you need a thorough assessment. This includes the client’s history, a physical assessment, and an understanding of their goals.

Low back pain is always specific. Through assessment you identify the triggers, whether they’re movement based, load related, or behavioural.

Once you identify the trigger, you apply a specific intervention to address it.

In academic settings you’ll often hear that most low back pain is “non-specific.” What this usually means is that a scan cannot clearly identify the pain source.

But if we don’t base treatment on scans anyway, it becomes less relevant.

We don’t treat MRI findings.
 We treat assessment findings.

For clinical reasoning and treatment planning, low back pain must be treated as specific. Otherwise you can’t apply a targeted intervention.

The real question is:
 Have you been taught how to assess for those specifics?

Health professionals, strength-based injury rehab is no longer optional.

Most persistent pain presentations will not resolve with passive treatment modalities alone. Clients are seeking not just symptom relief, but long-term capacity and independence.

The profession is moving toward active, load-based rehabilitation as the standard of care.

Yet many clinicians still experience:
😖 Limited confidence in gym-based environments and equipment use.

❓Uncertainty around safe and effective progression of strength training in the presence of pain or injury.��😵‍💫 Frustration when evidence- informed protocols fail to translate into results with real- world patients.

The challenge?

🔹 A gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application.
🔹 A tendency to manage symptoms rather than address underlying biomechanical deficits.
🔹An overload of information that makes it hard to know where to start.��We are here to lead by example and help allied health practitioners feel confident in the gym and confident in their exercise prescription. We have created a guide for you all, with our top 5 assessments and interventions on what we commonly see in the clinic.

Specific problems need specific solutions.

Nothing about successful rehab is non-specific.

It’s common for patients to be told to stop lifting. Rest. Avoid the gym.

But removing training isn’t a strategy. It’s a pause button.

Assess structural limits. Identify real triggers. Find what they can do.

Then prescribe with precision so they can get back to doing what they love.

There is always a way. You just have to be specific enough to find it.

Who says you can’t build muscle and get stronger while rehabbing an injury?

Rehab does NOT mean:
Light weights forever
Band work only
Avoiding compound lifts

When programmed properly, rehab can still include progressive overload, strength work and muscle growth.

Sometimes we adjust the numbers.
Sometimes we modify range of motion.
Sometimes we change the exercise but keep the movement.

We might pull back on certain lifts temporarily, but we don’t always need to remove them.

A big part of rehab is restoring neglected movement patterns and balancing out weak links in the chain. Pain often shows up when capacity and control are missing.

You can build muscle.
You can get stronger.
And you can do it while rehabbing.

Train smart. Train hard

Step-by-Step to The Bird Dog

1. Set up (Quadruped)
• Hands directly under shoulders, knees under hips.
• Spine neutral (not arched, not flexed).
• Eyes down; cervical spine long.
• Light abdominal brace (think: “tighten corset 20%”).

2. Brace before you move
• Exhale gently.
• Draw ribs down without flattening the low back.
• Imagine balancing a glass of water on your sacrum.

3. Reach contralaterally
• Extend right arm forward (thumb up).
• Extend left leg back (heel driving long).
• Hips remain square; no rotation.
• Leg reaches long, not high (avoid lumbar extension).

4. Hold
• 5–10 seconds of steady breathing.
• Maintain neutral spine and level pelvis.

5. Return with control
• Bring hand and knee back under you.
• Reset brace.
• Alternate sides.
