Back pain has a way of stealing more than just workouts.

It takes your confidence.
Your routine.
The thing you use to clear your head.

This athlete had been doing CrossFit for years.
Aches and pains were normal, until his low back went out.

Twice.

Within weeks.

Suddenly it wasn’t about pushing harder.
It was about avoiding movements.

Sitting out.

Googling symptoms and hoping for the best.

In one session, we didn’t just calm the pain.
We figured out why it kept happening.

Because pain isn’t random, and it’s rarely just about the spot that hurts.
With a clear plan, better movement, and confidence in his body again, he’s back doing what he loves, without fear of the next flare-up.

If this sounds familiar, know this:
You don’t have to guess.
You don’t have to “wait it out.”
And you definitely don’t have to give up training.

👉 DM “ASSESS” and take control of your recovery.

Every year looks the same for a lot of athletes.

Pain shows up in winter.

It gets ignored.

Spring ramps up and the body can’t keep up.

Winter is your chance to change the pattern.

Use it wisely.

Moving better.
Healing faster.
Feeling good in your body again.

That’s the goal — not just being “out of pain,” but actually getting your life and your training back.

This is what happens when rehab is personalized, intentional, and focused on performance — not just exercises.

DM “MOVE” if you’re ready to feel like yourself again.

01/23/2026

Training through pain isn’t toughness.
It’s training dysfunction.

Pain isn’t something you’re supposed to “push past.”
It’s feedback that something in your movement system isn’t doing its job.

When you train through pain, what actually happens
• You reinforce compensations
• You load the wrong tissues
• You engrain poor patterns under fatigue

And over time, that’s how small issues turn into chronic problems.
This doesn’t mean you stop training.
It means you stop ignoring why your body is hurting.

At Tidal Performance, we don’t just ask where it hurts.
We ask what’s breaking down in the movement that keeps creating pain.

Fix the pattern.
Restore control.
Then train with intent.
That’s not being soft.
That’s being smart.

If pain has become “normal” in your training — it doesn’t have to be.

CrossFit shoulders don’t break because of one bad rep. They break because control gets lost before volume ramps up.

Winter is when stiffness, fatigue, and old compensations show up fast. If you ignore it, small movement errors compound, and pain or weakness forces you to take weeks off.

Addressing shoulder control now keeps you training through the year instead of restarting every few months. Strength isn’t the problem, it’s stability under load.

Restoring control, mobility, and proper sequencing allows you to lift heavier, move faster, and stay consistent without risking injury.

Not your arms. Not your hands.

This is a high school golfer learning how to control pelvic tilt, one of the most overlooked pieces of a consistent, powerful swing.

If the pelvis can’t control position:
• The spine compensates
• The swing gets steep or stuck
• Power leaks before it ever reaches the club

So instead of “swinging harder,” we start here 👇

Teaching the body how to control the pelvis so the rest of the swing can actually work.
This isn’t about lifting heavier or grinding more reps.

It’s about giving young athletes the movement foundation they need to play better now and stay healthy long-term.

Better movement → better swings → fewer injuries.
This is how we build golfers the right way. 🏌️♂️

This is why imaging doesn’t tell the whole story.

Pain doesn’t always mean damage — it usually means your body is stuck, overloaded, or compensating.

When we treat how your body moves instead of chasing symptoms, things change quickly.

No unnecessary scans.
No wasted time.
Just smart, targeted care.

DM “RELIEF” if you want real answers instead of more tests.

“I thought CrossFit was destroying my back.”

That’s what our patients tell us at first.

But after we assess how they squat, hinge, brace, and rotate…

It finally clicks.
It wasn’t the barbell.
It wasn’t the workout.

It was years of compensating, leaking force, and loading bad patterns.
Traditional PT gave them a sheet of exercises.

Chiro cracked them and sent them out the door.
Ortho told them to stop lifting altogether.

No one ever showed them how to move better.

That’s the difference.

We don’t just calm pain down.

We fix the movement patterns underneath it.
And that’s what we call the root cause.

DM “BACK” if CrossFit + low back pain feels like a cycle you can’t break.

Most golfers spend hours chasing swing changes, adjusting grip, tweaking tempo, or trying new drills, when the real issue isn’t in the club at all.

The problem often starts with the body itself. If your pelvis, hips, and core don’t have access to full rotation or the control to move efficiently, your swing has no choice but to compensate. That might look like early extension, over-rotation in the upper body, or a swing that feels “off” no matter how much you practice.

Over time, these compensations don’t just affect performance, they show up as pain in your back, hips, or shoulders. That nagging stiffness, soreness after practice, or the pain that flares mid-round is your body signaling it’s being asked to do something it can’t safely manage.

The good news? Clean up the foundation and everything changes. When your pelvis and hips move the way they’re designed to, rotation becomes smoother, sequencing becomes more natural, and your swing feels repeatable and effortless. You’ll not only play better, but you’ll protect your body from the injuries that plague so many golfers.

Winter is the perfect time to focus on this, no pressure from tournaments, no rushed rounds, just the chance to retrain your movement patterns so you can step into spring stronger, safer, and swinging with confidence.

Nothing hurts more than sitting out when your buddies are teeing off.

Back pain shouldn’t be the reason you miss your golf trip—or worse, the whole season. Most golfers think rest or stretching will fix it, but the truth is your body is compensating for movement you’ve lost.

Ignoring it doesn’t make it go away. It makes it worse, and it keeps you off the course. The solution isn’t quitting. It’s retraining your hips, pelvis, and core so your back stops holding you back.

Don’t let pain write your story. Get back to the fairway this season.

DM ASSESS and start building a body that keeps you swinging, not sitting.

Mom of 4 + back pain + hands-on root cause care

When you can’t walk, lift, or hold your baby without pain…
that’s not something you can “wait out.”

This is what happens when someone finally gets care that looks at the whole body, not just where it hurts.

Pain isn’t random — it’s compensation.

And when you actually assess it, you can change it fast.

✨ Five-star care, real relief, real life back.

DM “ASSESS” if you’re done guessing and ready for answers.

01/12/2026

The best golfers don’t just train their swing.
They train the body that swings the club.

If your hips don’t rotate well, your pelvis can’t control load, or your core can’t transfer force, no amount of swing reps will make that consistent.

That’s why great golfers focus on movement quality first. When the body moves well, the swing becomes easier to repeat, power shows up naturally, and pain stops stealing rounds.

Train movement and your swing takes care of itself.

Build a body that supports your swing. DM ASSESS to get started.
