🔥 Your Back & Hips Are More Connected Than You Think 🔥

If your Quadratus Lumborum (QL) is always tight or sore… the real issue might not be in your back at all.

👉 The QL often picks up the slack when the glute medius and minimus (your side-hip stabilisers) aren’t doing their job.
👉 That means the QL gets overloaded → stiffness, pain, and even referral trigger points into the hip.
👉 On the flip side, tight glutes can send pain into the low back too.

⚡ Bottom line: If you only stretch or release the QL but don’t reactivate the glutes, the cycle repeats.

✅ Release the QL
✅ Strengthen the glutes
✅ Move better, hurt less

“Still having low back pain — even after physio, massage, or injections?
Here’s the thing: most people don’t actually know what’s causing their back pain. That’s why they stay stuck.
That’s exactly why we created the Mini Back Check.

In just 30 minutes, we:
✅ Look at how you move
✅ Check what’s stiff, weak, or overloaded
✅ Rule out anything serious
✅ And give you a clear next step so you finally know what to do.
It’s quick, it’s expert, and it could save you months of frustration.

We’re opening just 10 spots for September — and they go live on Saturday, August 31st at 10am.

Remember — we got your back.”

New Blog Post: Flexion vs Extension Back Pain – And Why Knowing the Difference Changes Everything

If you’ve tried physio, chiro, massage, or stretches—but your back pain keeps coming back—this blog post is for you.

Most people don’t realise that low back pain falls into two major types:
🔹 Flexion-Based Pain (worse with sitting, bending forward)
🔹 Extension-Based Pain (worse with standing, walking, arching back)

In this week’s blog, we break down:
✅ How to tell which one you have
✅ Why it matters more than your scan or diagnosis
✅ Real examples from clients we’ve helped
✅ What not to do if you have the wrong type
✅ How to get the right plan for your body

This one distinction can completely change your recovery.

Back stiff? Here’s the no-brainer move:
🚶‍♂️ WALK. EVERY. DAY.
(Even if it’s a little uncomfortable.)

Your spine hates stillness.
Walking pumps the discs, lubricates the joints, and tells your brain,
“Hey, we’re safe to move.”

Don’t wait for the pain to disappear to start moving.
Start moving to help the pain disappear.

👣 Start with 5 minutes.
🏃‍♀️ Build from there.
🧠 Your body—and brain—will thank you.
