Have you had low back pain for years? Maybe it’s not just about mobility and strength.
Here’s what could be keeping it around:
✅ Your nervous system may be overprotective- Pain can persist when your system stays on high alert even when tissues are okay.
✅ Your movement patterns may be guarded- How you move day to day matters just as much as how strong or flexible you are.
✅ Your recovery habits may be inconsistent- Sleep, stress, and pacing all influence how your back feels over time.
✅ Your loading changes too fast… or too slow- Sudden spikes and under-loading can both keep symptoms lingering.
✅ Your confidence in movement may be reduced- Avoiding certain movements can reinforce sensitivity over time.
Low back pain isn’t always about doing more it’s about doing things differently.
👉 Save this if your back pain has been sticking around longer than it should.
