1. Poor load management

- A common cause of flare-ups isn’t “bad form,” it’s poor load tolerance.
- People jump volume or intensity too quickly or don’t reduce load when stress outside training is high.
- The body adapts to gradual exposure, not spikes.
- Even small increases (10–20%) in total weekly load can trigger pain if recovery is off.

2. Inconsistent exposure to meaningful strength work

- Many rehab or “pain-friendly” sessions stay too easy for too long.
- Research shows underloading tissues keeps them sensitive because they never rebuild capacity.
- Light bands and mobility drills alone won’t build resilience.
- You need progressive strength work matched to tolerance and recovery.

3. Lack of recovery and systemic stress

- Sleep deprivation, high work stress, poor nutrition, and low energy availability all heighten pain sensitivity.
- These don’t just slow recovery—they change how your nervous system perceives pain.
- The more run down you are, the louder pain signals become, even if the tissue is fine.

4. Fear and overprotection

- Avoiding movement after a flare-up creates deconditioning and threat association.
- The brain learns to see normal movement as “dangerous,” amplifying pain.
- Confidence and graded exposure retrain that response better than rest or “perfect posture.”

I've had the pleasure of treating Nicolas, who works in Oxford occasionally. He's been a delight to work with and I'm glad I could help alleviate his back and neck pain.
