When a back “locks up,” it’s usually a protective response — not a sign that something is broken or out of place.

The body tightens when certain movements or loads keep irritating the spine.
Other directions often calm it down.

The turning point isn’t pushing harder or stretching more —
it’s understanding which movement pattern your spine is reacting to and adjusting how load is applied.

That’s often when people say,
“This finally explains why this keeps happening.”

Stretching helps some backs — and quietly irritates others.

The difference is how your spine responds to direction, not flexibility.

If your back pain keeps coming back, it’s not random.

Most back pain follows a pattern — a direction your spine doesn’t tolerate and a direction it prefers. When people don’t know their pattern, they keep stretching, icing, or foam rolling and wondering why nothing sticks. We evaluate how your spine responds to specific movements and show you what actually helps calm it down.

If you’re tired of guessing, let’s figure out your pattern…

Pain doesn’t always mean damage — and it’s not always random.

If your symptoms change depending on how you move, sit, or stand, your body is giving you valuable information. That predictability is often the key to lasting change.

Understanding how pain behaves is very different than just trying to get rid of it.
