Rehab gets hardest when it stops being impressive.

No big milestones.
No dramatic breakthroughs.
Just small gains and quiet work.

That’s where most people quit.

That’s also where results are built.

If you’re rebuilding right now, this is your reminder.

Follow for structured rehab that actually progresses.

If your back has flared up recently, this is for you.

Even when you’re doing everything “right”, flare-ups can still happen.

And what catches most people off guard isn’t the pain —
it’s the doubt.

“Have I made it worse?”
“Have I set myself back?”
“Should I stop training?”

I treat back pain every day.
I still had those same thoughts.

Here’s what matters:

A flare-up doesn’t mean damage.
It doesn’t mean you’ve failed.
It doesn’t erase your progress.

It usually means your system is sensitive.

What helps isn’t panic, rest forever, or chasing perfect posture.

It’s reducing chaos.
Keeping movement in.
Gradually loading again.

If you’re in the middle of one right now, you’re not broken.

Comment BACK and I’ll send you the simple framework I used.

Your spine isn’t fragile and is designed to move. The problem with a lot of lower back rehab is it stops after the initial phase once the pain has reduced or it feels less tight.
You will then go back to sport/ gym/ running once it feels better but it inevitably breaks down again. This is because you hadn’t prepared it for the demands of that activity.

The framework for back rehab should be no different to any other injury and should always involve a structured program that is progressively overloaded over time and individual to you, with the end goal always to move without thought or fear.

If you are feeling stuck with your back pain then comment BACK and we will send you the exact framework and guide on how we have rehabbed low back pain both online and in person.

Your hip stretches aren’t fixing this. Comment HIP for. Free guide

Stretching isn’t bad.
It’s just not enough on its own.

Most hip pain and stiffness isn’t because the hip is “tight”.
It’s because the hip is doing too much work.

When the spine, pelvis, and rib cage don’t move well,
the hip becomes the last resort.

Add in poor strength and limited loading through different ranges,
and the hip never builds real resilience.

Hips need movement and strength.
In every direction they’re designed to move.

That’s how mobility actually improves

RUNNERS TESTING: S/L CMJ

SAVE WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR HERE!!!

Jump height and conentric peak force are what we look at immediately but as a runner I want to see what eccentric braking impulse is on each side as I want to know if there is a limb that is taking more of the force.

If there is a big discrepancy then this will affect the athletes when running.

This is a test where the main focus is on asymmetries.

We are looking for less than a 10% deficit in all markers for a single leg jump.

We also want to look at the jump strategy used, it just the numerical data.

Is there more hop dominancy? Is there less knee flexion? Is there more trunk rotation? How smooth is it? How relaxed is the athletes body? Are just a few of the questions I would ask?

You’ll hear this a lot with knee pain 👇

• Running is bad for your knees
• Your scan says you have arthritis, that’s why you’re in pain
• Your glutes are weak
• Squatting causes knee pain
• Your VMO is weak

Let’s clear this up.

Running does not ‘ruin’ knees.
Most people with arthritis on scans have little or no pain.
There is no single muscle that magically causes knee pain.

Knee pain is rarely a structural diagnosis problem.
It’s usually a load tolerance problem.

Your knee hurts when the demands placed on it exceed what it currently tolerates. That could be running volume, gym loading, jumping, hills, work demands, or sudden spikes in training.

Avoiding squats doesn’t build knee capacity.
Avoiding running doesn’t protect your knees.
Chasing one “weak muscle” doesn’t solve the problem.

Progressive loading does.
Strength through range does.
Gradual exposure back to the things you want to do does.

Strong knees are built by loading them, not avoiding them.

Now over to you 👇
Physios: what’s the worst knee advice you’ve heard a client be given?
Clients: what’s the worst thing you’ve ever been told about your knees?

Drop it in the comments. Let’s fix the narrative

Here is an example of what a testing session looks like here at move for someone returning from an ACL injury and gearing up to return to run.

If you are wanting to find out more about how we help people recover from an ACL injury at MOVE just comment ACL and we will send you the link to a free webinar with more details.

As always using kit to make sure the recovery and progression through different phases is data driven and not based of just time alone.

RUNNERS - POWER DEVELOPMENT

SAVE THESE TARGETS

Recreational runner
Male 30cm
Female 25cm

Competitive Runner
Male 40cm
Female 35cm

Elite Runner
45cm+ for male and female.

RSI

< 0.40 → underpowered / fatigued

0.40–0.55 → solid for endurance athletes

0.55–0.70 → very good (efficient + explosive)

0.70+ → elite neuromuscular qualities

An improving CMJ score for runners shows;

- improved rate of force development: how quick you can produce force.

- improved efficiency of the lower body transferring force which means less energy wasted.

- Reduced injury risk: tendons have to work hard during these explosive tasks so the better they can perform and tolerate higher force / load , the better.

Most people stuck with knee pain are lost.

Poor advice vs too much advice

Let’s keep this simple ⬇️

They have tried stretches, random exercises, YouTube videos, rest, then panic when pain flares again.

What is usually missing is not effort.
It is structure.

Knee rehab works best when there is:
• Clear knee coordination
• Strong single-leg strength
• Smart load management
• A gradual return to impact

No guessing. No constant resets.

If your knee rehab feels chaotic, this framework is the reset.

Save this so you have something to come back to when pain flares.
Comment KNEE REHAB if this feels like you
