If you’re stuck in pain like many others then you need a plan.

Sounds obvious enough.

It’s surprising how many people are trying to resolve back pain without a plan.

No direct. No intention. No clarity.

If you’re stuck in the woods and have a map to get out there’s a much better chance than wondering around aimlessly hoping you find your way.

Your path to being pain free and confident is the same.

A clear plan that you can see and confidently say “I can do that” is the missing piece for many people.

Most of the time you’re doing good work, there’s just no direction, poor timing, and a lack of clarity.

If you want to get out of pain and have a clear plan to do it then take advantage of our complimentary assessment!

We run you through exactly that!

Your spinal discs are not jelly filled donuts đŸ©

They are extremely tough tissues designed to manage a lot of force compressively.

And if someone ever tells you to squeeze your body as hard as you can right after injury for minutes at time.. tell them no.

Doing that without injury is enough to cause pain and discomfort. Imagine how sore you’d be doing it immediately after an acute injury.

Struggling with pain and can’t see someone about it?

Just take this insanely simplified principle to your training.

Weak muscle âžĄïž make it strong

It won’t be a magic cure but it sure as hell doesn’t hurt to be crazy strong.

Creating power from flexion.

A key attribute in late stage rehab is the ability to produce a lot of force quickly.

This med ball drill is a nice way to encourage the lower limb to aid in force production while teaching the low back to manage high forces in a flexed position.

Sometimes you need to do the aggravating thing to teach the body it’s safe.

Load your glutes with this curtsy drop!

It’s one of my favourites and is a common go to exercise to teach pelvic control & to strength the glutes.

Strengthening the glutes can help low back pain & hip pain. Even if it’s not helping your pain, it’s always a good idea to strengthen your glutes.

Clinical Reasoning 🧠

In this in service training session Jordan & Liv are discussing potential reasoning for a positive elbow collapse of Jordan’s left elbow in a posterior-lateral force steadiness test.

The simple way to view it that’s relative to Jordan’s situation is his posterior-lateral shoulder isn’t able to produce enough force to aid stabilisation & force production. This puts more strain on the distal tricep leading to it failing to meet demands.

By asking ourselves what’s doing it’s job & what’s not doing it’s we can get a picture of where we need to focus treatment & rehab.

Technique can sometimes be the cause of your pain.

Just because you have pain doesn’t mean something is broken, it doesn’t mean you have a problem.

This patient was experiencing some low back pain while grappling and while grappling a ball into the wall is not the same as a person it gives us an idea of how he likes to use his body during this task.

He would drive a lot of force from his low back.

A simple Que to push through the foot changed that and helped him to distribute that load through the legs.

It’s about giving him the tools to continue working and improving, driving confidence back. Sharing load and minimising overloading of the low back.

I changed my mind


I used to think Core weakness caused back pain.

Then I thought it could never cause back pain.

Then I realised there’s more nuance to it.

Your core is vital but is often over blamed for back pain.

A weak core is often found when someone has back pain. But I tend to find the weakness is secondary to the pain.

The system wants to cause less pain so won’t load the back when it’s painful. That means it won’t utilise the core as effectively.

Load the core and you load the back. They work together always.

So if ones in pain and is offloaded then by extension the other one is offloaded too.

That adaptive strategy sustained over time is what can lead to the core becoming weak.

Most of the time core weakness isn’t a causative factor in back pain.

Rehab options for your Groin 👊

A mixture of early to mid stage exercises ranging from mobility, high tension, plyometrics & strength work.

A barrage of areas that need to be addressed once your groin tear has calmed down and can tolerate some load and length changes.

Give them a go.

Low Back đŸ€ Glutes

While there are a huge number of other considerations a commonality between people with low back pain is the poor ability for the glutes to tolerate load.

If we loose efficiency in hip extension then something else needs to create that force.

Commonly the low back helps. The torque of the low back extending can drag the hips into extension. Hence the compensation.

While this is a very simply explanation it’s something that I find quite common. Strengthening your glutes can go a long way with minimising back pain.
