When you are dealing with severe back pain and sciatica not much else matters.

Figuring out how to get relief from the pain becomes your primary goal.

And even just a little relief feels like a huge blessing 🙏

In these moments there are only a few things that I tend to focus on to help people out of the darkness…

Understand your pain triggers
Find your direction of preference
Control through the triangles of stability

Once you have these things down, simply rinse and repeat to consistently drop your pain levels over the next few days.

Don’t make it complicated.

Once you get to a 3/10 and your pain has come back up to the hip and lower back you are in a very good spot!

If you have any questions about any of this or how to heal from back pain, go ahead and comment below.

Wishing you all a better day than yesterday 💙

The most common back pain, recovery mistake can be easily avoided

bearing down and holding one’s breath is so common that I had to make a video about it

However, this is more important than you think

Your breathing pattern has an immediate effect on your course ability and intra-abdominal pressure

It can either help you or hurt you so make sure to do it right

Follow for more tips and motivation to recover from back pain and sciatica naturally

Happy healing friends!

Don’t let back pain or sciatica get you down. With the right plan and consistent actions you can make it to the top of the mountain too!⛰️

My recent flare up set me back a step, but it was a wonderful experience because it reminded me of so many of the principles that I teach in the FMT 360 Method.

Treating the injury with consistency and intention was so important for me these last few weeks.

Once I realized exactly what was happening my mindset shifted and I was off to the races giving my body exactly what it needed to heal.

In just a few weeks I went from feeling weak ame fragile to hauling my little guy to the top of this beautiful overlook.

The process works and it works consistently.

If you are interested in getting the exact blueprint that I used for myself and my clients just comment below with “PAIN” and I’ll add you to the list for my new course.

I only have 3 spots left for the Beta launch at 50% off.

But I really, really want you to join so I’m also gonna throw in my 4 week anti-inflammatory food guide and VIP access to me as your coach.

Let’s make it to the top of the mountain together!

We had our first Arizona storm yesterday and it came on fast and furious!

Needless to say, we were caught by surprise but luckily not too far from home 🏠

The water came gushing down and I was amazed at how quickly the scenery changed in the typically dry desert conditions.

The moment really had me thinking about how quickly these back pain episodes can come on ,

And how it can be so hard to know that there will be an end to it, especially when you were in the middle of the storm.

If this is you today, I want you to know that there will be an end and that this doesn’t have to be the “new normal”.

If there’s anyway that we can support you in this group, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

At FMT, we believe in a 360 approach to healing

and helping people find the root cause of their issue so that they can solve back pain once and for all 💙

Above all else, stay positive and keep your eye on the rainbows 🌈

Don’t lose the fun with back pain recovery 🫶

This video shows that no matter what your age may be, you can always work for improvement…

and never stop having fun 🤩

Rehabilitation can often feel like work, and work gets exhausting for all of us.

When we slow things down and have fun with movement, we can begin to enjoy it again.

That’s huge for any of us going through what I call “type A Rehab” where we are pushing to be the best even during our healing journey.

Does this resonate with you?

What would healing look like if it were easy?

No bending, lifting, or twisting is a pretty standard set of precautions used after back surgery… 😬

However, being able to perform these motions is really important for moving through every day life. 🙆‍♀️

The scary challenge really happens when you have suffered chronic back pain or a disc herniation 🥵

In that instance, you really need a tailored plan to return to full function. 🏋️‍♀️

Functional, Movement Therapy was created to give busy parents their life back 💙

Not only getting back to being able to care for their spouses and families 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

But also returning to doing the activities that they love most like hiking, exercise, and enjoying the outdoors 🏃

Comment below if you’ve had trouble getting back to full function

I’m so excited for my group training program that is kicking off May 1st!

I’ve been working with clients who suffer from back pain for a long time now and I’ve finally been able to package my entire process in a 13 week course.

One of the biggest challenges clients face is that they are left trying to interpret all the medical information while also piecing together different items and treatments they need to heal.

New mattresses, back braces, appointments, medications, gels, and supplements 💊

Never knowing what is going to work and more often than not being frustrated with the lack of results or short term relief 😮‍💨

I’ve gone ahead and put all the answers in 1 place 🤩

Here’s what you can expect when you join us:

🌟 A supportive community dedicated to overcoming back pain and sciatica.
📚 Expert education tailored to your needs.
👩‍⚕️ Specialist support every step of the way.
📅 A comprehensive plan of attack to bid farewell to back pain for good.

But here’s the catch – spots are limited, and time is running out!

I want everyone to have an amazing experience so I’m capping the cohort at 10 participants 🥳

Think about all the time, money, pain, and heart ache you’ll save NOT worrying about “managing” your back pain anymore but actually healing ❤️‍🩹

The best part is that you get to do this all from the comfort of your own home and on your schedule.

Oh wait, that’s not the best part…

It also comes with lifetime access to the course and a full money back guarantee if you aren’t satisfied with your results

Crazy, right?!?! 🤪

All I wanna do is help some people live a pain-free life.

Are you ready to get the results you’ve been after and regain confidence in your body?

Introduction

As a traveling physical therapist I have seen the healthcare system work and fall apart all over the country. Over the past 3.5 years my wife and I have been traveling across the U.S. going to states and communities that needed help with serving their populations. We have loved doing this job and meeting amazing people along the way. Unfortunately, my limitations is that although I am willing to travel across the country to help these under-served areas, I can only be in one place at a time. Tele-health physical therapy allows me to move beyond the typical format of a traditional physical therapy clinic and into a space that I can do more and create more than previously possible.

Think about this for just a moment: you go to the doctor 1-2x/year for a check up, the dentist and eye doctor are the same. What do you do for the rest of your body? Who is your practitioner of choice to help you maintain your body? Does your chiropractor ever discuss with you how to move in order to not need your back cracked every week? We all have aches and pains, and live in a society that doesn’t have time to slow down. Let the movement specialists, Doctors of Physical Therapy, be the practitioner of choice for you. Whether you have an ache/pain slowing you down or you want to start a fitness routine, we can help get you there safely. FMT PT & Wellness is also dedicated to making sure your children stay healthy during sporting events.

Through video teleconferencing, Functional Movement Therapy (FMT) will be able to treat people across the nation who need care NOW, not weeks from now. We vow to make healthcare more accessible, more affordable and easier to access than ever before. We want to help save you time, money and pain on your life’s journey. Visit us at www.functionalmovementtherapy.com for more information and a free consultation.
