Question 1

Does the program only train my lower back?

Accepted Answer

No. We train your whole body, because you're a human being, not a spine. The low back is usually the biggest focus, but it's rarely the only thing that needs addressing. Most clients have other injuries going on too, the back is just the one compromising their life the most. So we look after all of your training across the week. That's also essential from a load management standpoint, which is a huge part of low back rehab.

Question 2

Can chronic low back pain heal without surgery?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, yes. Disc bulges and herniations have a much higher rate of natural resolution than most people are told. The disc gets its nutrition through movement, so we restore safe, graded movement rather than rest and avoid.

Question 3

Is strength training safe with a herniated disc?

Accepted Answer

Once you've rebuilt the foundation, yes. Strength training is usually what closes the loop. The mistake most people make is going back to loaded lifts too early, on a base that can't hold them.

Question 4

How long does rehab actually take?

Accepted Answer

Usually somewhere between the three and six month mark, but really, it depends. It's hard to give a specific number, because everyone's history is very different when they start the program.

Question 5

Why does my back pain keep coming back?

Accepted Answer

Because the treatment fixed the symptom, not the pattern. The same weak links that caused it the first time cause it again. The loop breaks when you rebuild the base underneath the movement.

Question 6

Do I need to stop lifting weights?

Accepted Answer

Almost never for good. Almost always for a phase. Reset drops intensity so the tissue can heal, Restore rebuilds the foundation, Reinforce loads you back up to whatever your life demands.

Question 7

What if I'm nervous about rehabbing my back remotely?

Accepted Answer

This is one of the most common concerns clients raise. The reality is that if in-person was the answer, you'd probably have gotten results from someone in person already. More importantly, over 90% of low back pain is what's called non-specific back pain. That means it's driven by a multitude of factors, not a single adjustment or realignment that needs doing. There are several things at once holding your back back. That's exactly where a fully comprehensive approach comes in, looking at every factor in your lifestyle specifically to rehabilitate your back properly.
