Most people with back pain or stress injuries are told to “rest” but rest alone doesn’t rebuild resilience.
 At The Recovery Project, we test, measure, and rebuild movement from the ground up.
 That’s how this runner went from a spinal stress injury to marathon ready again 🏃‍♀️

💥 Tested with VALD dynamometry 💥 Strengthened weak links 💥 Rebuilt nervous system tolerance 💥 Measured, not guessed

If back pain’s holding you back, it’s time to get assessed properly.

Bracing isn’t about holding your breath or tensing up like a statue it’s about creating pressure and control that supports movement, not restricts it. 💪 
Here are the cues we use to help patients (and athletes) get it right: ✨ “Zip up from your p***c bone” ✨ “Brace like you’re about to be punched” ✨ “Expand your ribs 360°” ✨ “Breathe into your brace, don’t hold it” ✨ “Keep tension, not stiffness”

If you struggle with back pain or feel “weak through your core”, learning to brace properly might just change everything.

Ever felt that nagging ache in your tailbone after sitting too long? Or back pain that flares up when you bend or lift?
💡 The missing link might be the muscles at the back of your thighs. When they’re weak, your back and tailbone end up doing too much of the work. When they’re strong, they spread the load → less pressure, fewer flare-ups, and more confidence in movement.
This carousel shows you: 👉 Why the pain happens 👉 How strength helps 👉 Where to start and how to progress 👉 The outcome you can expect (more comfort, less pain, more freedom)
It’s not about posture or endless stretching. It’s about building strength where it counts. 💪

Do you ever feel fine while walking… only to wake up sore the next day? 😣

That doesn’t always mean you’ve hurt yourself.
In chronic pain, your nervous system can be extra sensitive. Instead of giving feedback in the moment, it often sends a delayed signal almost like your body is still “checking in” hours later.

👉 The important part: this next-day pain is usually feedback, not damage.

It means your system needs time to relearn that movement is safe.

The trap? Many people stop doing the very thing that will help them build confidence again.

The key? Adjust the dose shorter, slower, more often so your body learns it can handle it.

You’re not broken. Your system just needs retraining.

And that’s what we help you with every day here at The Recovery Project. 💪

BACK PAIN WORKSHOP (link in bio)
Thursday 9 October, 5:00 pm
Location: 1/39 Barry Avenue
❌ Cat-Cow isn’t enough. ❌ Knee hugs aren’t enough.

If your back’s been sore for more than a week or two, it’s not just tight muscles it’s deeper stuff like stiff joints, weak stabilisers, low load tolerance, or a nervous system stuck in “protect mode.”

And a couple of gentle floor stretches won’t fix that.
This workshop is for weekend warriors people who want to stay active, lift things without worry, and show up fully for their family.

✅ You’ll learn:
➡️What’s actually causing your back pain (it’s not just “getting older”)
➡️Daily movement tweaks and strength-based fixes you can start using right away
➡️The exact questions to ask your physio, chiro or GP and how to spot a solid plan

✅ BONUS: Includes a 4-week at-home back care program to help you rebuild strength and stay pain-free

Event details:
* 📅 Thursday 9 October 2025
* 🕔 5:00 pm (60 minutes)
* 📍 The Recovery Project, Cromwell
* 👥 Spaces limited to keep it interactive
Bring: comfy clothes, your questions, and a note-taking device.

Stretching your neck might feel good for a few minutes… but if the muscles around your shoulders and shoulder blades aren’t doing their job, your body forces the neck to tighten up to keep you safe.

That’s why we don’t just chase the stretch. We focus on:
✅ Strengthening your lower traps & rhomboids
✅ Improving scapular control
✅ Adding isometric cuff work for stability

This takes the pressure off your neck and traps so they can finally relax for good. 💪

👉 If you’re tired of daily tightness, book in and let’s get you sorted.
