In 2020, I herniated a disc in my lower back. L5-S1.
I wasn’t an osteopath back then. I was just someone in pain, trying to work out what was going on and whether I’d ever train properly again.
So when you walk into my clinic worried about your back, I get it. I’ve been on your side of the couch.
Here’s what I learned on the way back:
Rest helped at the start. But what got me back was movement, step by step, guided, and slowly building trust in my back again.
Your body adapts to what you do most. If you’re too scared to move, it learns to stay stiff and guarded. Sometimes it just needs reminding that it’s safe.
That’s why this video isn’t a flex. It’s 72.5kg of proof that a back injury doesn’t have to be the end of the story.
Everyone’s different. You might never want to lift anything heavier than your shopping. That’s fine. The goal is your goal: running, lifting, playing with your kids, getting through the workday.
But I hold myself to a high standard, so I can hold your recovery to one too.
I’ll look at how you move, find what’s driving the pain, and build a plan around what you want to get back to. And I’ll reassess you every visit.
