What we’re looking for?
Often back pain isn’t random. If your back keeps flaring up, there’s usually a reason. A few specific things tend to trigger it, for example how you sit, bend, lift, and load.
We identify your triggers and show you how to replace them with safer options so you can move forward with fewer flare-ups. ​
Our 3-step Assessment-to-Action Plan
1
Identify your flare-up drivers
Pinpoint the postures, movements, loads, as well as daily demands (work + home) that reliably trigger symptoms or recurring flare-ups
2
Lock in your reset strategy
We test strategies that reduce symptoms right away—so you have something you can use immediately.
3
Create your game plan
Clear do/don’t rules and a structured path forward—so you rebuild what your back can handle without gambling on a flare-up.
What you'll gain from this process
Clarity + a plan you can trust
-
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” when life 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 spine recovery and stability under load.
-
A defined prognosis: based on your history, exam findings, and imaging when available.
A clear plan and
ongoing support
matters.
When you’re left guessing, this process can feel frustrating and isolating. Coach Brent will monitor what’s working, refine what isn’t, and guide you step-by-step—so you keep moving forward and build durability without gambling on a flare-up.
We start by listening.
We don’t start with an MRI report. We start by listening to your story to understand how your symptoms behave day to day. Then we identify the pattern, form a hypothesis, and test it—confirming your triggers and what reliably brings relief—before turning those findings into a plan you can trust.
-
An MRI report without a true mechanical evaluation.
-
A quick, generic orthopedic exam that doesn’t reproduce the real-life problem.
-
A subjective-only approach (“what hurts?”) followed by general exercises.
Most low back pain is approached
from one of three common starting points (that miss the mark):
We start by listening.
Then we build the assessment around how your symptoms behave, to verify:
-
Which postures, movements, and loads reliably trigger symptoms.
-
Which specific strategies reduce them.
-
What you can handle right now without paying for it later.
