A lot of people get told they’ve “done their back” without ever knowing what’s actually driving it.

In clinic, we’re usually narrowing it down to a few key structures:
• Disc
• Facet joints
• Sacroiliac joint

Each one behaves differently.
Different movements aggravate it, different tests reproduce symptoms, and most importantly — they each need a different rehab approach.

That’s why guessing, resting, or doing random exercises rarely works.

Once you identify the source properly, treatment becomes a lot more targeted and tends to progress much faster.

Low back pain isn’t guesswork. There’s usually a clear pattern behind it.

Elbow pain every time you grip or lift?

Tennis elbow isn’t just an elbow problem. Most of the time it’s overload through the forearm extensors that hasn’t been managed properly.

Today’s session:
Active release to unload the tendon
Dry needling to reduce tone and pain
Targeted rehab to build capacity so it doesn’t come straight back

Treat the cause, not just the symptoms. Book in if it’s lingering.

If you get pain in the back of your ankle it might not be an Achilles injury. Try sitting back on your heels and if that reproduces your pain you’ll need these exercises

Anterior knee pain isn’t just a “knee problem.”

Most people feel it at the front of the knee, but the driver is usually how the entire lower limb is handling load.

We see it all the time with:
• Running
• Stairs
• Squats
• Sitting for long periods

The common thread is poor load tolerance through the patellofemoral joint.

If the quads aren’t strong enough in deeper ranges, or the hip and ankle aren’t contributing properly, the knee ends up absorbing more stress than it can handle.

That’s when pain starts to build.

Treatment isn’t just about the knee itself.

We’re working through:
• Quads and surrounding tissue to reduce tone and improve movement
• Hip and ankle to offload the joint
• Gradual strength progressions to rebuild capacity

Hands-on treatment helps settle things down, but the long-term fix is always about improving how the knee handles load.

Most anterior knee pain responds really well once you get that balance right.

Instead of just chasing the sore spot we treat all of the forearm muscles that attach into the elbow to reduce tendon load and restore normal movement. We then move higher up the chin address anything in the shoulder and neck. Finally we move into rehab to correct any movement imbalances that led to the injury or prevented it from healing

This pro HYROX athlete came in with running issues. Here’s how we fixed it.

With a recurring right hamstring strain and left knee pain ahead of competition, the first step was not guesswork. It was a proper run assessment.

After breaking down her mechanics, we found key issues around hip stability, hamstring control, and load absorption through her stride. From there, treatment was targeted with hands-on soft tissue work and rehab to improve strength, control, and running efficiency.

This is why run assessments matter. They help us identify what is actually driving the problem so treatment is specific, not generic.

If you keep dealing with hamstring pain, knee pain, or recurring running injuries, book in with our team for a proper assessment

Lower back pain is rarely just a “tight back”.

A lot of the time there are stiff lumbar or pelvic joints, overactive paraspinals and hip flexors, glute weakness, poor load tolerance, or movement patterns that keep irritating the area.

That’s why we don’t just treat the painful spot. We use hands-on treatment to reduce tension, improve mobility, and then back it up with targeted rehab to improve control, strength, and resilience.

If your low back keeps flaring with lifting, running, sitting, or day-to-day activity, book in and get it properly assessed.
