🔥That, oh so familiar back pain!

Your lower back isn't the problem⛔️
Not "lifting with your legs" isn't the problem ⛔️

Most of the time, you back is just the poor messenger.
The real issue
👉Stiff hips
👉A locked-up midsection
👉Joints that forgot how to move

When your hips don’t move well, your low back picks up the slack… and eventually starts yelling about it.

In this 10-minute video, I walk you through some of my go-to lumbar spine + hip mobility drills to help you:
✅ move more freely
✅take pressure off your low back
✅ feel better during workouts and everyday life

Your back might not need more stretching —
it might just need your hips to finally do their job.

Follow along with the full video: 10 minutes of your time!

follow along with me in this video that targets our spine and pelvic areas. keep pace with me and don't go to fast.

Is PAIN a life sentence? Is avoiding and "resting it" the correct modality for healing?

I'm a 38 year old father who thinks he can still do all the things he used to be able to. BUT when you go to bed completely fine and wake up feeling like you were in a fight to the death during your sleep and you threw your back out.

Back pain doesn't need complicated fixes or weeks on the sidelines. It needs movement, the right movement. As a mentor taught me "Motion is Lotion."

Follow throughout the week as we break down exactly how to get you out of that pain and back in action.

Your back will thank you. 💪

⛔️A reoccurring conversation...

Too often, do I hear my doctor told me not to "workout"; avoid this, don't do these exercises, you aren't going to be able to do "THAT" anymore...

Sound familiar?

And here is the kicker, they are told this by people who have not studied movement, don't workout themselves, but sound so professional when they say things like this.

The TRUTH!! ✅️❤️

Movement done right heals!! It doesn't harm. Strength, mobility, and proper coaching builds resilience, not risk

⛔️STOP letting fear keep you fragile. Start moving smarter!
