Been a bit quiet on here lately… but for a good reason. 🙌
The past few weeks have been filled with an incredible influx of clients, keeping me busy doing what I love.

Grateful and blessed for every single person who trusts me with their rehabilitation journey. Thank you for making this season such a busy and rewarding one.

Feeling frustrated because your pain or injury isn’t fully gone yet?

When it comes to injury recovery, pain relief, mobility, and rehab, pain is only one part of the picture. 𝙍𝙚𝙖𝙡 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙨𝙤 𝙗𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙢𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧, 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙛𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙗𝙤𝙙𝙮 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣.
If you are dealing with ongoing pain, stiffness, or rehab frustration, stop measuring success by pain alone.
Look at your function, strength, mobility, and recovery capacity too.

It’s a new year, don’t ignore your pain!

Too many people still believe that pain means stop, that rehab is only for major injuries or post-op, or that modifying a movement makes it less effective. The truth is, most injuries don’t require you to quit. They require you to adjust.

✅ Early movement supports your healing
✅ Modifications help you train through discomfort
✅ Sleep, stress, and recovery all play a role in pain
✅ You don’t have to wait until things get worse to do something about it

Understanding what your pain means (and what to do about it) can be the difference between progress and more setbacks.

Weak Core = Back Pain? It's not that simple...

A "weak" core has been blamed as the "cause" of low back pain for a long time.
However, we now know that persistent back pain is much more complicated than "weak core = back pain" And there are PLENTY of people with really strong "cores" who suffer from persistent back pain, so what gives? Well, there can be a myriad of factors that contribute to one's persistent back pain experience (or any persistent pain issue for that matter), which may include but are not limited to:
▪️Mobility restrictions
▪️Movement coordination/control deficits
▪️Strength deficits
▪️Fear of movement
▪️Post-traumatic stress
▪️Depression
▪️Lack of sleep
▪️Anxiety
▪️Autoimmune disorders
▪️Poor understanding of the condition
▪️Poor diet
▪️Excessive worry or constant focus on the pain ▪️Catastrophizing ...and the list goes on... So don't freak out if you suffer from persistent back pain but don't have great abdominal strength and control!
And no, if you don't currently experience back pain, you aren't doomed to have it if you have below average abdominal strength...you are at no higher risk than those with excellent strength!
It's also worth noting that performing "core" exercises can actually help, but it's not necessarily because it was "weak" to begin with and needs to be strengthened (note: "core stability" exercises have not been shown to be any more effective for improving chronic back pain compared to other forms of exercise) It's probably more related to the act itself of tensing muscles around this area in a pain-free way, building confidence in the process... It can also be helpful to learn how to use these muscles to limit movement if the spine is overly sensitive to TOO MUCH movement at any given point in time, BUT again...this doesn't mean that movement of the spine must be limited forever (it was designed to move!) So hopefully now know that back pain (especially when persistent) is much too complex to be "fixed" by core exercises alone, and that, as a whole, neither having "weak" nor "strong" abdominal muscles will predict who will or will not suffer from back pain nor who will more likely recover from it!
