😩Your back pain might not be a strength problem. It might be a communication problem between two completely different muscle systems.

🙌System one: your intrinsic stabilizers — small, deep muscles whose only job is keeping your spine still when it shouldn’t be moving. You never feel them working. You’d absolutely notice if they stopped. They’re your lug nuts.🔩🔩🔩🔩

✌️System two: your fascial slings — the big ones. Lats, glutes, hamstrings, chained together to produce force and absorb it every time you move. That’s your engine, your gas, and your brakes, all in one system.🚗

💪Here’s the part most people miss: it doesn’t matter how strong the engine is if the lug nuts are loose. Most training chases the engine. Almost nobody checks the lug nuts.

In practice, most people I see have a little of both going on — stabilizers that went quiet, slings that never learned to absorb force properly. That’s not a failure on your part. It just tells us exactly where to start. 🤝

Comment MOVEMENT and I’ll send you a starter exercise for each one.

✌️Two people walk in with “low back pain.” Same diagnosis on paper. Completely different problem. 👇

🔹 Flexion sensitive
Bending forward is the trigger. Sitting too long, tying your shoes, loading the dishwasher, getting out of the car. Often worse in the morning, and standing up and walking around usually feels better.

🔹 Load intolerant
It’s not really about the position. It’s about how much and how long. You feel fine for a while, then it builds. A long day on your feet, carrying groceries, a gym session that ran a little heavy. Your back is basically saying “that was more than I’m ready for right now.”

Why does this matter? Because the plan is different.

If you’re flexion sensitive, we calm things down by temporarily working around the positions that flare you up, building a solid hip hinge, then slowly bringing bending back in. Flexion isn’t “bad.” Your back just needs to earn its tolerance back.

If you’re load intolerant, we find the amount you can handle without a flare, train just under that, and build it up gradually. Effort matters more than the number on the bar. Leaving reps in the tank is how you progress without paying for it the next day.

Here’s the part nobody wants to hear: hands-on treatment can absolutely help you feel better and move better in the short term. I do it every day. But strength training is the long-term solution. Your spine isn’t fragile. It adapts to what you consistently ask of it.

Is it always this clean? No. Plenty of people are a mix of both, and pain is influenced by sleep, stress, and a lot more than just your back. That’s exactly why the assessment matters before the plan.

👉 Movement avoidance is never the answer!

🧠 It would however, make sense to an avoid a painful movement/range of motion temporarily to allow healing.

— No different then how you might avoid kneeling on a knee that has a scab on it until the scab is healed to avoid ripping the scab off and prolonging the healing process.

🔥 One thing Angie mentioned before she came in to see for the first time almost 2 years ago is she was contemplating quitting her job because of the pain it was causing.

🙌❤️ I love hearing my work and my advice has made a legitimate change in someone’s life for the better. There is no better feeling outside of my kids mirroring qualities of a good human.

✅ Bridging the gap between Manual Therapy, Therapeutic Exersises and Strength Training is the long term cure people are looking for. Then we just need to be consistent until we die 🙃. That’s it.

🤡All jokes aside, Strength Training can prolong quality of life as we age if we are willing to learn and adapt. It can also create the problems people come to see us for.

❤️ “Insurance or not, that was life changing”

🙌 This is one of my favorite things communicated to me recently. What an awesome compliment 🫶

👉 She goes on to communicate a few key things I’d like to highlight.

1. Her contribution to the problem.
— our daily habitual patterns with things like work and driving, can be like picking a scab on a daily basis never giving it enough time to heal.

2. Massage therapy was very short-term symptom relief.
— every modality has its time and place. Massage therapy is a wonderful service that can keep people feeling great. When we try to use massage therapy to fix a dysfunction in muscle recruitment patterns. We end up with temporary relief.

👉 This is because we need to strengthen the underactive muscles after the overactive muscles are released. Without a treatment protocol to determine which muscles are underactive we end up chasing our tail with pain.

🤝using advanced manual therapy techniques + applying therapeutic reinforcement exercises + proper client/patient education = RESULTS

❤️ Life changing is probably one of the best compliments a person can receive.

🫶 I’m very grateful for the opportunity to help so many different people. Aside from being a father, it is one of the coolest feelings in the world… Knowing you actually made a meaningful impact on someone’s life. It doesn’t get much better than that.

👉 Strengthen training is the long-term cure for chronic pain.

That said, in my experience things are less of a step-by-step method and more of an algorithm that needs to have the ability to pivot and adapt to the person in front of you.

My client had knee pain for over three years and mentioned numerous times during the first few weeks of treatment, giving up on certain movements entirely to avoid being in pain.

🔑Bridging the gap between rehab and strength training is the key! It is also where I see the most opportunity to help a client/patient understand how important it actually is.

💪📣Shout out to my client Lindsay Lindsay Nicole Pearl going for her pro Card this weekend!!

❤️ I love the point she makes for people in the bodybuilding industry. Two things for my point of view.

1. Bodywork for tissue health
2. Reciprocal muscle pairing to optimize function.

👉 These are two very different things and we can actually accomplish both in the same session.

🧠 Posing positions are basically an isometric exercise. Without proper reciprocal-inhibition and communication between muscles, certain poses might feel difficult or exhausting.

👉 Additionally, poor communication between muscles leads to a weaker contraction, which results in a less defined look on stage.

If you are a fan of this approach, share with a bodybuilder(s) you know! 💪
