Many people are told they have “weak core,” “tight hips,” “bad posture,” or "arthritic backs."
Sadly, these labels don’t explain why pain is triggered by specific tasks such as sitting, bending, lifting, getting out of the car, rolling in bed, training, or long workdays.​​ Low back pain always has a specific cause.
The Goal of the Assessment
The goal is not to “find everything that’s tight” or collect a list of generic exercise options.The goal is to answer four practical questions with high confidence:
1. What reliably triggers symptoms?
2. What reliably reduces symptoms?
3. What is tolerated today (and what is not)?
4. What progression will rebuild capacity without repeated flare-ups?
This is how a plan becomes a durable long-term solution, not just temporarily relieving.
The P2P Process: 3 Pillars
Pillar #1: Three-hour Precision Assessment (in-person)
The assessment is designed to pinpoint the specific patterns driving symptoms:
1. Positions that flare symptoms (ex: sustained sitting, end-range postures)
2. Movements that reproduce pain (ex: repeated bending, extension, rotation patterns)
3. Work and training demands that reliably flare symptoms (ex: lifting, higher training volume, cumulative late-day load)
4. Real-life conditions that worsen tolerance (fatigue, rushing, stress, travel, long workdays)
5. Movement habits observed when you’re not thinking about it, because daily patterns are often where the problem lives
What you will gain from this assessment: A clear trigger profile that sets practical guardrails: what to avoid, what to modify, and what to build back toward.

Typically delivered through: a 3-hour in-person assessment
Deliverables
What you get
-
Your personal "Trigger Map" outlining what flares you + what settles you.
​ -
A Symptom-Control Toolkit for daily life and exercise.
-
A Step-by-step Progression Plan from calm → capacity → performance.
Why this matters
-
Creates a plan that holds up under real life
-
Eliminates guesswork
-
Prevents “good week / flare week” cycles
Next Step
If you’re stuck in the proverbial good week / bad week cycle, the next step is a precision assessment, so the plan is based on your triggers and tolerance, not guesswork.
