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.

Social media says you ruined your progress over the holidays.
👉 As your physio, that’s not true. And here’s what actually matters.

– Start where you are, not where you left off
Your body adapts fast when you return with intention, not pressure.

– Ease back into your routine
Lower volume and intensity for the first 1-2 weeks to rebuild momentum safely.

– Focus on movement quality first
How you move matters more than how hard you push right now.

– Use soreness as information, not a warning
Let it guide your next session instead of stopping completely.

– Be consistent, not perfect
A few steady sessions beat jumping back in too fast and burning out.

👉 Save this if you’re getting back into movement after the holidays.

Your physio-approved resolution for the new year 👇

If you want something sustainable (not extreme), start here:

✅ Move a little every day
Consistency beats intensity small daily movement adds up.

✅ Progress gradually, not aggressively
Your body adapts best when change is steady, not rushed.

✅ Recovery counts as progress
Rest, sleep, and lighter days help your body actually get stronger.

✅ Quality movement over perfect form
Good-enough, well-controlled movement beats chasing “perfect.”

✅ Adjust the plan as your body changes
What works now may need tweaking later and that’s normal.

Set goals your body can keep, not resolutions you’ll quit by February.

Struggling with pull-ups?

Pull-ups aren’t just about arm strength, they start with control.
This exercise builds the foundation your shoulders and back need so pull-ups feel stronger, safer, and more natural over time.

Master the basics first, and everything else gets easier.

What’s the hardest part of pull-ups for you right now?

Here’s the truth: acupuncture isn’t painful; it’s actually calming.
Most people barely feel the needles, but they definitely feel the relief.

Still nervous? Totally normal. Still worth it? Absolutely. 💛

When people ask me what’s better for the back, stability or mobility?
👉 My answer: Mobility. And here’s why.

-It helps your joints move the way they’re meant to

When your spine and hips move freely, your back doesn’t have to fight against stiffness.

-It reduces unnecessary muscle tension

Tight areas force other muscles to overwork. Mobility helps everything share the load better.

-It improves your movement quality

Better mobility means smoother bending, twisting, and reaching without strain.

-It makes stability training actually work

You can’t properly strengthen or stabilize a joint that can’t move well in the first place.

-It helps prevent compensations

When one area is stiff, your back tries to make up for it. Mobility reduces these inefficient patterns.

👉 Save this for later if your back feels stiff or restricted.

That feeling when you realize you didn’t just treat pain... You changed someone’s everyday life. 💛

Holiday season propaganda I’m absolutely falling for… and honestly, no regrets: 🎄

✨ “I’ll take a quick stretch break.”
Because even a little movement helps me feel better.

✨ “I’ll lift this the right way.”
My back deserves some holiday kindness too.

✨ “I’ll choose the seat that supports my posture.”
Comfort AND good alignment? Yes, please.

✨ “I’ll take a short walk after eating.”
Digestive support + happy joints = win-win.

✨ “I’ll stay consistent with the exercises that help me.”
Because a small routine now saves me a big problem later.

Sometimes, the best gift is taking care of yourself. 💛

What’s your go-to health habit you’re sticking with this holiday season?

There are thousands of running tips out there but there’s one piece of advice you should never skip. 🏃‍♂️

And honestly? It’s the one most runners ignore.

The single most critical piece of advice that separates durable, improving runners from those constantly sidelined by injury is this:
👉 You must SCHEDULE TRUE REST DAYS.

Why True Rest is Non-Negotiable?
👉 Running makes you stronger, but it does so by creating microscopic damage in your muscles, tendons, and bones. You do not get fitter during the run you get fitter during the recovery from the run.

If you skip rest, you are constantly piling stress on top of existing damage. This accumulated fatigue prevents your body from completing the essential process of repair and adaptation. Eventually, something breaks.

Start by scheduling real rest and if you need help rebuilding a sustainable routine, book a session and let’s make your body durable. 💪

You’re 10 seconds into a dead hang, and your back is already sending you a quiet “thank you.” 🙌

Your body loves this more than you think.

It’s not just about grip strength a dead hang gives your spine space, lets your shoulders reset, and helps your upper back finally relax from all the sitting, lifting, and slouching you do throughout the day. 👌

When you practice controlled hanging, your shoulders move better, your posture feels lighter, and your back gets the decompression it’s been begging for.

Save this post as your reminder: a simple dead hang can make your whole upper body feel brand new.
