A sad yet inspiring case study 👇🏼

97 y/o patient with a long history LBP + foot drop who's a VERY high fall risk.

In this week's podcast episode 🎙️ I share what I did to help ⬇️ reduce his back pain & fall risk.

While making measurable gains in aerobic capacity (2 min walk test), LE strength (x5 sit-to-stand test) & functional independence.

The simplicity of it may surprise you.

Own the SAGITTAL PLANE

A tweak in technique & a subtle cue can be the difference between your patient👇🏼

✅ Feeling the low back tighten up vs relaxing after exercise.

✅ Losing neck mobility vs gaining neck motion after a core exercise.

✅ Being able to train while rehabbing their back pain vs not being able to train bc of LBP flare ups.

A PRIMARY pillar of low back pain rehab is👇🏼

OWN THE SAGITTAL PLANE

If a patient can’t demonstrate basic competent with Sagittal plane awareness & endurance…

Everything else will be harder & less efficient

The reality is we all have and will continue to experience the emotions of the drama triangle both personally & professionally because we’re HUMAN.

As with anything in life, self awareness is the best starting point.

So what are some ways that have helped you get off the drama triangle?

If you’re new here, welcome! 🙏🏼

My name is Ramez (call me Mez) and I am a husband & a father. My beautiful wife Sam and I have two beautiful daughters named Lilly & Jasmine.

Professionally I’m obsessed with simplifying the complexities around spine rehab while integrating strength, conditioning, and sustainable fitness.

I believe everyone deserves to get older without spine pain holding them back from what brings them joy.

I’m formally trained as a Physical Therapists (DPT) with post-graduate training in:

1️⃣a Neuro rehab residency (sub-speciality in pain science) and

2️⃣orthopedic manual therapy fellowship (OMT).

And I’ve been a strength coach / personal trainer for 16 years.

If you’re a clinician and your here to learn how to bridge the gap between spine rehab & fitness… you’re in the right place.

If you’re just here for some visual education & the occasional Shenanigans in my reels & stories… that’s cool too.

Either way welcome and I hope your find my page both useful and actionable.

Cheers!

Why does it work for some but not others?

The answer is properly categorizing & diagnosing mechanical low back pain from the start.

If you’re a PT and that’s something you’re interested in getting more clarity on I’m putting on a FREE 90 LBP webinar on Tuesday September 17th at 4pm.

I’ll be sharing a checklist that walks you through step by step how to efficiently diagnosis these patients so you know exactly where to start and how to pivot if things don’t go according to plan.
