I've been working with someone who had become really cautious about “bad movement”. Constantly checking: is this safe, is this wrong, am I doing it right?

That checking became part of the problem, because movement stopped being natural and adaptable. Everything became controlled, careful, and monitored.

A system that’s always being monitored doesn’t move freely. It tightens up, it starts to move rigidly instead.

What helped wasn’t perfecting movement, it was rebuilding tolerance for normal, imperfect movement again.

You might be making your back pain worse by obsessing over core strength!

Strength alone doesn’t guarantee better control of movement, and control is what actually changes how your back behaves day to day. That’s why plenty of people get stronger in the gym and nothing really shifts in real life.

Start paying attention to how you move in simple tasks instead. That’s where the pattern shows itself.

I worked with someone who was constantly trying to “fix” their posture.

Shoulders back, core tight, sitting up straight all day.And they were drained from it.What they didn’t realise is that posture isn’t something you maintain, it’s something that comes out of how you move.

So they were layering constant tension on top of a system that already didn’t feel coordinated in movement.

And instead of helping, it slowly built more stiffness.

What actually changed things wasn’t better posture cues, it was taking control out and letting posture emerge through movement again.

Rest can absolutely help in a flare-up. That part is real. But when avoidance becomes the long-term plan, your system starts learning that normal movement isn’t safe.

Over time, that tends to increase sensitivity instead of reducing it, so it’s not rest itself that’s the issue, it’s what your body is being trained to expect from constant avoidance.

Start noticing whether you’re actually recovering, or just slowly shrinking your movement exposure.

Not sure the best way to start moving again?

Comment “TRUST” and I’ll send you 5 daily follow along routines that take less than 10 minutes for free.

Treating back pain focussing only on physical solutions, without addressing the neurological is like replacing your faulty smoke alarm batteries without finding out why it keeps going off.

You might be treating tight muscles as the problem when they’re actually the output.

Most people feel tight and go straight to stretching or releasing it.But often, tightness is your body increasing stability because movement or load control doesn’t feel fully coordinated or safe.

So if nothing changes in how you move, the tightness usually just comes back. Instead of asking “how do I release this?”, start asking “why is my system creating this in the first place?”

Your back isn't fragile. It’s built for motion.

The biggest mistake I see people make with chronic pain is protecting their back too much.

If you’ve been hurting for more than three months, the physical damage is usually already healed.

The pain you’re feeling now is often a lack of trust between your brain and your body.When you stop moving to “protect” yourself, you just get stiffer. And more stiffness leads to more pain.

You don't need more rest. You need to show your system that it's safe to move again.

It starts with small, confident wins to prove to your brain that you aren't broken.

Ready to stop guarding and start moving?

Comment 5in5 and I’ll send you my 5 minute reset. 5 simple movements to help you restore control and stop that fear response today.

Strength isn’t the problem.

You can build strong muscles…
but if your body doesn’t use them when you move, they don’t help you.

That’s why pain keeps coming back.

It's not just about getting stronger, it’s about how your strength shows up in your movement.

Prioritise better movement over more exercises.

Chairs. Comfortable and inviting, but brutal and depleting.

We didn’t evolve to sit in one position for 8+ hours a day. Our ancestors didn’t have office chairs, sofas or lumbar cushions. They squatted, sat on the ground, moved constantly. And guess what? They were just fine.

If you want to feel better in your body, you don’t need to overhaul your life. Making small changes that you do frequently is the best way to get started.

So why not start with breaking the sit cycle.

Here are 3 simple ways to do it:

1. Set “Loosen Up” alerts: every 20–30 minutes. Stand. Walk. Stretch. Even just a minute helps reset your system and keeps things flowing.

2. Sit on the floor: Best done whilst working (coffee table or laptop stand style). You’ll naturally shift positions, stretch your hips, and give your spine some variety. Bonus points for cross-legged ninja vibes.

3. Use the kettle as a cue: While it boils, do a few squats, arm circles, or toe touches. Turn that tea break into a mobility win.

Your body isn’t broken, it’s just been stuck in one shape too long. Break it up. Move more. Sit less like a statue, more like a human.

If your back still hurts at rest it tells you one important thing... your nervous system hasn't switched out of protection mode.

Pain at rest is rarely about tissue damage. It's about a threat response that has become so ingrained your brain produces it regardless of what you're doing.

This is called central sensitisation and it's far more common in chronic back pain than most people are told.

Central sensitisation happens when a nervous system that has been in threat mode for an extended period becomes hypersensitive. It lowers its threshold for producing pain and raises the baseline level of it.

The original physical trigger may be long resolved. But the nervous system has learned the pattern and keeps running it.

The way out is not passive. It requires giving your brain consistent, progressive evidence that your body is strong, balanced and capable of movement without consequence.

Over time that evidence lowers the threat assessment, reduces the sensitisation, and the resting pain begins to quiet down. It is a process that is a predictable one when you follow the right framework.

The exact 3 step process I use to take clients to desensitise their nervous system so that it finally feels safe enough to let go.
