It wouldn’t be fair to say that CrossFit gyms have the most back pain cases out of any one “style” of exercise. I strongly believe that there are people sitting at home doing chores who are doing just as much damage to their lower back as the guy in the CrossFit gym doing burpees. What is […]
“Be confident in knowing that what you’re doing is the best 1st step at getting relief from your chronic back pain” (stop following the dead end, one size fits all protocols your doctor prints out and shoves in your face) Can you relate to any of the statements below? => “I feel like I have […]
Pseudo-Sciatica is a real thing and it’s costing people a lot of time and headache chasing something that isn’t there.
