Have you ever looked at an X-ray of your back or neck and felt like you were looking at a “broken” version of yourself?
If you’re an ex-athlete over 40 with back pain, you’ve likely been told that your “bones,” “discs,” or “wear and tear” are the reason you’re sidelined. You start moving tentatively, like you’re made of glass, waiting for the next “tweak” that puts you back on the couch.
Here is the truth: Your X-ray is not your destiny.
Most people I talk to are terrified of their own imaging. They stop bending, stop lifting, and start managing their own decline. But the truth is, a picture of your bones doesn’t show how you move.
When I was stuck in a 15-year cycle of back pain, I thought I was “damaged goods.” I’d rest until the pain stopped, then jump back into training, only to blow out again. I didn’t realize that my pain wasn’t coming from a “bad disc”—it was coming from missing movement patterns. Today, at 50, I move with more freedom than I did in my 30s. I stopped treating the “picture” and started rebuilding the foundation.
This is why I created the RBLD Project. I want to show you how to look past the X-ray and find the specific movement gaps that are actually keeping you in pain. It’s time to stop the “Rest and Hope” strategy and start your rebellion against the slow fade.
