A stiff or painful back doesnât mean a weak one.
Youâve probably been told you need to âstrengthen your coreâ, glutes, or backâŚďż˝
Most of the time, thatâs not the issue.
Your back is built to move and handle load.
But over time, we avoid certain movements (or get told not to do them)âŚ
ďż˝Thatâs when things start to feel tight, restricted, and eventually painful.
Sound familiar?
You can push your back and still be safe.
ďż˝Itâs designed to be strong, adaptable, and robust.
Avoiding movement completely?
ďż˝That might be the exact reason youâve been in pain for months⌠or even years.
Hereâs 4 simple movements to start giving your back what it actually needs again đ
1ď¸âŁ Seated loaded spinal flexion - 3x10ďż˝2ď¸âŁ Thoracic rotations - 3x10 each sideďż˝3ď¸âŁ Med ball standing spinal flexion (full back) - 3x10ďż˝4ď¸âŁ Standing weighted side bends - 3x10
Keep them controlled.
ďż˝A bit of tightness is fine, pain isnât.
Build it up gradually and youâll be surprised how quickly things change.
Enjoy đ
