How We Assess
A structured, in-person evaluation designed to identify what’s driving your symptoms, confirm the specific motions, posturs, loads, and activities (i.e. mechanism) that trigger your familiar symptoms, and build a plan you can apply immediately to reducing your symptom intensity, move with greater confidence and improved quality of life.
What we’re looking for?
Back pain and leg symptoms aren't random or without cause. If your symptoms keeps flaring up, there’s a reason --- a specific reason --- for example how you sit, stand, sleep, bend, work at your desk, drive and lift. Conversely there are specific things that bring relief such as lying on your tummy, standing with relaxed knees, walking or adding lumbar support.
The difference here is that we not only identify your pain triggers but also your pain relievers, a taken together we show you how you can move forward with fewer flare-ups and more confidence.
Our 3-step Assessment-to-Action Plan
1
Identify the cause.
Pinpoint the specific postures, movements, loads, as well as daily demands (work + home) that's triggering your symptoms and reoccurring flare-ups
2
Remove the cause.
We test mostions posture sand loads that cause your familiar symptoms, and test strategies that immediately reduce those symptoms so that you have something you can use immediately.
3
Build long-term game plan
Clear do/don’t rules and a structured path forward, so you can rebuild based on what your back can handle and prevent another flare-up. More on this below.
What you'll gain from this process
Clarity + a plan you can trust = confidence
A clear list of your known triggers; the specific postures, movements, and loading situations that reliably set your symptoms off.
A short list of symptom-reducing strategies you can use immediately (so you have a reliable “reset” for when sh** happens).
A structured plan with clear milestones: what to do now, what comes next, and how we decide when it’s time to progress.
Targeted stability + mobility work: based on what your exam shows (not a generic exercise list).
Breathing strategies that supports sleep recovery and spine stability.
Some people need more than just a report, and would thrive with clear plan and ongoing coaching support.
When you're left guessing, this process can feel frustrating and isolating. In our Guided Build program Brent will assume the role of a coach, by monitoring what’s working, refine what isn’t, and guide you step-by-step—so you greater durability and confidence.

We start by listening.
We don’t start with an MRI report or a generic 15 min assessment. We start by listening to your story to understand how your symptoms behave day-to-day, identify the destructive patterns, and form a hypothesis. Next we test that hypothesis by conducting a thorough, nuanced, physical exam specific to your familiar pain patterns. After interpreting your exam results we build a recovery plan you can trust.
Finally we provide you the support you need to execute your plan.
