Are planks making your back pain worse?

They might be... if your spine isn’t neutral.

Most people just grind through a plank and wonder why their back hurts after. If your hips sag or your low back arches, you’re not training your core. You’re reinforcing the problem.

One cue that changes everything: drive your elbows into the towards your feet. That activates your lats, locks in your position, and actually engages your core — instead of just loading your shoulders.

From there, here’s how to progress it:
Level 1 — Knees and elbows. Own the position here first.

Level 2 — Elbows and toes. Same spine, harder demand.

Level 3 — Hands and feet with movement — shoulder taps, alternating lifts, and my favorite: the kettlebell pull-through.

Every level has the same standard. The moment your spine moves, the rep doesn’t count.

Start where you can own it. Earn the next level.

Comment PLANK and tell me which level exposed a weakness.

Your low back pain might not be a back problem.

If you’re stuck in an anterior pelvic tilt (and most people are), your hip flexors stay tight, your glutes switch off, and your back + hamstrings take the hit.

Are your hamstrings the cause or just the victim?

Quick check: Try the Thomas Test.
If you fail it, this could be your real issue.

In this video:
✔️ Fix hip flexor tightness the right way
✔️ Re-activate your glutes
✔️ Re-test and feel the difference immediately

Check your toes. Check your posture. Check your pain.

Really enjoyed the opportunity to help lead a class at Prairie Hills Middle School alongside She Strength and the Six20 Strength crew.

It was great working with like-minded coaches and an awesome group of students. There’s a lot of emerging talent coming out of that school, and it’s exciting to be part of helping build strength in the next generation.

Appreciate everyone involved for putting this together!

Stop doing dead bugs like this.

If your back is moving, you’re not training your core—you’re reinforcing the problem.

Control first. Movement second.

Try the tennis ball trick and tell me what happens.

You’re NOT my patient.

And that’s intentional.

When people hear “patient,” it usually means obligation—
a referral, a checkbox, something you have to do.

That’s not how I operate.

If you’re working with me, it’s because you want to be here.
Because you see value in learning your body, improving how you move, and taking control of your progress.

I’m not here to just treat symptoms.

I’m here to teach you how your body works…
how to move better…
and how to rely less on therapy over time—not more.

You’re in the driver’s seat. Always.

That’s why I call you a client.

"Is your core actually causing your low back pain?”

Most people think “core” means abs… crunches… or a six-pack.

But your spine doesn’t care how strong your sit-ups are.

It cares about stability.

You have 4 abdominal muscles, but one of them plays a major role in supporting your spine:
👉 Your transverse abdominis (your deep core)

If this muscle isn’t doing its job:
➡️ Your low back picks up the slack
➡️ Movement becomes less controlled
➡️ Pain starts to show up

And here’s the mistake I see all the time:
❌ Sucking in
❌ Over-bracing
❌ Holding your breath

Instead, you want a subtle, controlled brace while still breathing.

try making the "pssst" sound.

💡 Your spine doesn’t just need mobility—it needs support.

This is where that starts.

Next video: I’ll show you how to actually strengthen this the right way 👀

“ Do you have a pain in the back of your leg when you stretch your hamstring?”

A lot of people feel that pull and immediately start stretching harder.

But here’s what most people don’t realize:

👉 That sensation is often your NERVOUS SYSTEM, not your muscle.

When a nerve is irritated or sensitive, it doesn’t want to be aggressively stretched…
It wants to move and glide.

So instead of yanking on it and making it more sensitive, try this:
➡️ Move the nerve through a controlled range
➡️ Reduce tension without aggravating it
➡️ Restore normal motion

💡 Think of it like flossing—not stretching.

Same body.
Different approach.
Completely different result.

Before you stretch more… make sure you’re treating the right thing.

Comment “NERVE” if you’ve ever felt that pulling sensation

“Do you feel like your hamstrings are always tight?”

👉 What if they’re not actually tight?

Most people I see try to touch their toes by rounding their back first… and then blame their hamstrings when it feels restricted.

But here’s the truth:
🔑 It’s often not a flexibility problem—it’s a sequencing problem.

When you hinge at your hips first (instead of your spine), something interesting happens:
➡️ Your range of motion immediately improves
➡️ The “tightness” feeling decreases
➡️ Your movement becomes more stable and controlled

Your body isn’t always limiting you because it’s stiff…
Sometimes it’s protecting you because the movement isn’t organized well.

💡 When movement happens in the right sequence, mobility improves—and so does stability.

Before you stretch more, try moving better.

Most people don’t fail physical therapy…

They just never get the care they actually need.

I saw it every day—patients coming in frustrated, skeptical, and stuck. Not because they didn’t want to get better, but because the system limited what was possible.

Short visits. Insurance restrictions. Treating symptoms instead of solving the real problem.

I knew there had to be a better way.

That’s why I started Renewed Strength Physiotherapy.

“Those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength…” — Isaiah 40:31

This clinic was built on that truth.

My goal isn’t to chase pain—it’s to find the root cause, help you fix it, and build real strength so you can move and perform the way your body was designed to.

No referral needed. No insurance limitations dictating your care.

Just intentional, one-on-one treatment focused on getting you back to doing what you love—without pain holding you back.

If you’ve been stuck, told to “just deal with it,” or feel like you’ve tried everything…

You probably haven’t experienced this approach yet.

If you’ve been dealing with something similar, I’d love to help you figure it out.

He was told surgery was his only option.

Most clients go through the rounds first—primary care, imaging, traditional PT, even surgical consults.

He came to me after being told shoulder surgery was the next step—roughly $10,000 out of pocket and 6–10 weeks out of work.

Before moving forward, he wanted a second look.

We went through his history, reviewed imaging, and—more importantly—broke down how his shoulder actually moved.

What stood out wasn’t just what showed up on the MRI—it was how poorly the joint was being controlled under load.

The primary driver of his pain looked more like a stabilization and movement control issue than a purely structural one.

So instead of jumping straight to surgery, we built a plan around:
• restoring control
• improving tolerance to load
• giving him clear markers for what to do (and what to avoid)

Within a short period, his pain decreased, his confidence improved, and he’s already talking about getting back into the gym.

He went from not being able to do a single push-up without excruciating pain to doing 12 in a row with no pain last visit.

No promises. No magic fixes. Just addressing the right problem.

This is why I do what I do.

If you’ve been dealing with something similar and feel like you’re running out of options, it might be worth taking a different look at it.

If you sit most of the day and your low back feels tight, this isn’t random.

It’s not just your back.

When you’re stuck in one position:
• Your hips stiffen up
• Your spine stops moving well
• Blood flow drops

And your back starts taking the load.

Even “perfect posture” doesn’t fix that if you’re not moving.

Your body—especially your nerves—need:
movement, space, and blood flow

Try this instead of just stretching and hoping it works:

1. Seated piriformis stretch
2. Seated hamstring + nerve glide (add movement, don’t hold)
3. Hip flexor stretch with pelvic tilt

Then do the simplest fix most people ignore:
Stand up at least once every hour

This is the same pattern I’ve been showing:

If something isn’t moving, something else takes the stress

Fix the restriction early—and your back doesn’t have to compensate
