Your Back Is Not Broken: How to Reduce Pain.
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
80% of adults will deal with significant back pain — and most of them will be told the same thing: rest, avoid movement, manage it. That advice has failed millions of people.
In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on how I personally rebuilt my back after a jiu jitsu injury at 24 left me in debilitating pain for 5 years — and how I turned that into a system that's now been run through 300+ clients, including over 200 over the age of 50 and over 100 with active back pathologies.
Clients like Jamie, who came in unable to train at all — and 6 months later had minimal back pain. Or Alex, who suffered from chronic sciatica for years before running our program. Or Omar. The pattern repeats because the system works.
In this episode:
- Why rest and avoidance make your back MORE fragile, not less
- The 5 pillars of our back rehabilitation and performance system
- Core stiffening vs. core strengthening — why the distinction matters
- How to read pain as data and adjust your training intelligently
- Why building your glutes and posterior chain may be the most underrated back fix
- What the research actually says about spinal loading and disc health
This is not physical therapy. This is performance-driven rehabilitation for people who refuse to let pain run their lives.
