Most people respond by stretching harder, bracing more, or trying to “fix” whatever they think is damaged. That usually makes the back tightness worse.

But the stiffness isn’t the real problem. It’s actually just the symptom.

Sensitivity is.

In this video, I’m sharing my personal 4-step Anti-Stiffness Protocol, the exact low-intensity sequence I’ve used for over years to stay pain-free and start my days without fear.

No aggressive stretches. No forcing any range of motion. And definitely no waking up your nervous system like it’s a fire alarm.

These four simple movements, signal safety to your brain. When your system feels safe, muscles stop guarding, joints start moving easier, and stiffness fades without a fight.

You’ll see why the goal isn’t to “fix damage.” It’s to dim the alarm system that’s been keeping your back tight and reactive. You’ll learn how these movements gently lubricate stiff joints, lower sensitivity, and help your body remember that movement doesn’t have to be a threat.

If mornings have become the hardest part of your day…

If you’re done negotiating with your back before you move…

Start here. Start calm. Start safe.
