Your shoulder pain probably has nothing to do with your shoulder.

My client came to me unable to lift his arm without restriction and discomfort.

Years of trying to fix the shoulder, and nothing stuck.

When we dug into his history, there it was.
A motorbike accident from years ago.

His body had been quietly protecting him ever since.

The fascia around his ribs and serratus anterior had locked down, and his shoulder blade never had a chance to move properly.

The shoulder wasn't the problem.

It was just the loudest part of a much older story.

Here's the truth… your body doesn't forget.
It holds onto trauma, accidents, and stress in ways that don't always show up where you expect them.

What most people don't realise is that the shoulder doesn't work in isolation.

It is completely reliant on correct core activation.
Your core dictates the position of your rib cage, and your rib cage dictates how your shoulder blade sits and moves.

Get that foundation wrong, and no amount of shoulder work will hold.

So alongside the manual therapy to release the fascial restriction, we worked on core activations to restore that foundation, and shoulder stability exercises to reinforce the new movement.

One session, and we had his scapular movement back.

The images speak for themselves.

If you've been chasing a pain that just won't shift, it might be time to look further back.

DM me the word SHOULDER and let's figure out what your body is actually trying to tell you.

Your exercise program might be the reason your lower back pain isn't going away.

Most programs have good intentions.

But they're missing key program variables that actually matter for core stability and spinal stability.

Things like sets and reps, tempo, rest periods, the stuff that determines which muscle fibres you're actually training.

If you're not targeting your type 1 fibres, your deep core tissues, you're not building the foundation your spine needs.

And here's something most rehab programs completely overlook.

Type 1 fibres take around 300 seconds to fatigue, but only about 30 seconds to recover.

If your rest periods aren't programmed around that, you're leaving real spinal stability gains on the table.

This is one of the biggest gaps I see in corrective exercise programs.

Not bad exercises, just missing the variables that make them actually work.

Tempo, intensity, rest periods, RPE, these aren't extras.

They're what moves you out of lower back pain for good.

If your program is missing this, drop a comment below or send me a DM and let's talk about what's actually keeping you stuck.

2 years of data doesn't lie.

One of my clients came back to work with me recently, different pain but the same person.

Before we started, I had her fill out a Health Appraisal Questionnaire (HAQ).

What I found across the 18 months since we last worked together stopped me in my tracks.

She hadn't just remembered what we covered.

She'd lived it.

The holistic lifestyle coaching habits we built together had become her normal.

No crash diets.

No fads.

Just consistent, integrated changes that quietly stacked up over time.

This is exactly how people move out of pain, and stay out.

Not through willpower or going HAAM on a program for a few weeks.

Through an individualised, tailored solution that actually fits your life.

The HAQ results over those 18 months showed what real progress looks like.

And I can't wait to see what another 3–6 months looks like for her.

This is what holistic back pain recovery is built on.

✅️ Consistency

✅️ Education

✅️ And a system designed around you, not a cookie cutter fix.

Have you ever tracked your health progress beyond just how you feel day to day?

This photo was taken a few weeks ago.

I was asked to speak at the BeKnown Academy Accelerator event, and the topic was how I walked away from a 14-year engineering career to run my own business as a Holistic Back Pain Specialist.

With a wife and kids depending on me.

No guaranteed income.

No safety net.

Just a decision.

Honestly, it was one of the scariest things I've ever done.

But looking back, it's also one of the best.

And the reason I got through it wasn't because I had everything figured out.

It was because I had support; my wife, my business coaches, my mentors.

People who'd been through it and could help me move faster and with more confidence.

Here's why I'm telling you this.

If you're living with back pain right now, I think you're in a similar spot.

You wake up and it's already there.

That dull ache, the stiffness, the moment you move and it reminds you something isn't right.

Maybe you've been pushing through it for months.

Maybe longer.

You've tried a few things like stretches, a physio visit, rest, and you're still here.

You already know something needs to change.

But you haven't made the call yet.

And here's the question I want you to sit with; if you don't do something different, where are you in 3 to 6 months from now?

• Still managing it?

• Still avoiding the things you love?

• Still telling yourself you'll sort it out when things settle down?

Or are you pain free, moving well, strong back doing the things that matter to you?

That second version is possible. But it doesn't happen by accident.

The people I work with get there through a clear, step-by-step process called the Fluid Movement System.

But like any change worth making it starts with a decision.

If you're ready to make that decision, DM or comment with the word CHAT and I'll reach out to organise a free 10-minute call.

No pressure.

Just a conversation about where you're at and whether I can help.

Strong bodies are built.

Strong trust is earned.

Some feedback from Matt, who came to see me for chronic lower back and SI joint pain.

“The experience was genuinely impactful.”

Five months of rebuilding from acute and persistent lower back pain required precision, patience, and a plan built around the individual, not a template.

“He took a person-centred approach, really taking the time to understand my needs and adapt my program to suit both my condition and my lifestyle.”

Pain fluctuates.

Capacity changes.

Life does not pause.

Progress only happens when training adapts to reality instead of fighting it.

“His ability to listen, adjust, and deliver a holistic program that supported multiple areas of my life… made a real difference in my progress over time.”

Rehabilitation is not just physical correction. It is restoring trust in your body, rebuilding confidence in movement, and creating stability across work, training, and daily life.

“He provided practical tools and resources that I continue to use independently.”

The objective is independence.

Long-term self-management.

Knowing exactly what your body needs and when it needs it.

“I would highly recommend Reece to anyone managing acute symptoms that are limiting their ability to live and engage in the things they want to do.”

If pain is dictating your training, your work capacity, or your lifestyle, that pattern can be corrected.

The people who win are the ones who never stop learning.

Last week I was at the BeKnown Academy Accelerator at the Mondrian, Burleigh Heads — a 2-day event led by my business coach and friend Kateesha.

Shadow work.

LinkedIn mastery.

AI tools.

Communication skills with Ryan Tuckwood from Swish.

I don't just coach my clients to invest in their health.

I walk the talk.

As a Holistic Back Pain Specialist working with athletes and business professionals, I believe your physical performance and your personal growth are directly connected.

You can't pour from an empty cup.

So I keep filling mine.

What's one thing you've invested in recently, for your health, business, or personal growth?

Stoked.

Anyone who has completed ASCA Level 1 knows there is a bit of work to get this.

I completed the in-person component in October 2025, finished the workbook on Christmas Eve, and completed the practical component recently.

Thanks to for helping me with my hours, and to and for going through it with me.

I guess now its on to Level 2!

Client review - Nelly

Visiting from Adelaide, Nelly contacted me as she was interested in a more complete and holistic approach to her ongoing pain.

Having been in a major motorbike accident as a teen, she has been recovering for over 40 years.

Her diagnosis currently includes incomplete quadriplegia (C4/C5), lumbar disc herniations, scoliosis and low functioning limbs on RHS.

With this in mind, my approach was to create space in the spine using the foam roller and the breath.

We found further imbalances with spinal rotations and focused on specific muscular activations through neuromuscular work.

A great result so far.

Most people skip this step
..and wonder why they keep getting hurt.

Warming up isn't just cardio on a treadmill.

Before I even touch the bar, I'm activating the muscles I actually need for the movement.

This helps me with the right muscle engagement and protects my lower back from compensating.

Here I'm waking up my glutes so they fire through the drive of the squat.

And I'm also activating my serratus anterior, that's what keeps my elbows up and stops the bar from tipping forward.

Skip this stuff and your body just finds the path of least resistance.

Which is usually the wrong muscles doing the wrong job, more often than not, the muscles of the lower back.

But get this right and everything else just clicks into place.

What's your go-to activation drill before a big lift?

Keen to see what's working for people.

You’re not stuck in pain because you’re broken.

You’re stuck because of the choices you’re making.

I want to say this like I’d say it to a close mate.

No judgement.

Just truth.

Most people don’t move out of back pain because they’re deciding from fear.

Fear that nothing will work.

Fear of wasting time.

Fear of spending money and being disappointed again.

So they stay exactly where they are.

Same habits.

Same patterns.

Same pain.

Pain isn’t random.

It’s feedback.

It’s your body telling you something has to change.

The real choice is simple.

Stay in fear and protect the familiar.

Or choose love and invest in yourself properly.

Time.

Energy.

Effort.

That’s how you move out of pain and back into the life you actually want to live.

If this hit home, drop a ❤️ in the comments so I know you felt it.

Ever wondered why some injuries just show up out of nowhere?

Or why that tight hamstring won't budge no matter what you do?

Here's the thing,your body stores emotions in your tissues and organs.

The liver holds anger, the lungs hold grief.

When you don't process these emotions, they become dense energy in weak spots, making you prone to injury.

I had a client who couldn't shift his back pain or tight hamstrings no matter what we tried.

When we dug into the mental-emotional side, we discovered he was carrying the weight of never meeting his father's expectations.

Within a couple of weeks of working on those beliefs and letting go of those expectations, his hamstrings released.

Full range of motion.

Back pain gone.

That's the power of addressing the emotional component of physical pain.

If you're stuck with pain that feels like more than just a physical issue, and you've tried everything else, it might be time to look deeper.

DM me "EMOTIONS" and let's have a conversation about how working on the mental-emotional side can help you get out of pain for good.

Your body's been trying to tell you something.

Time to listen.
