Why is it that you’re told exercise is the best thing for your chronic back pain or post-surgery recovery, but no matter what you do, exercise seems to send you into unpredictable flare-ups? 

Well, over the past decade, as a fitness professional training clients with all types of different backgrounds, I have come to realize something. 

Not all exercise is created equal, and simply exercising more is not what someone who’s had major spinal surgery or has been living with years of chronic low back pain should do. 

But wait...what? I was told exercise is the secret to a pain-free life!?

It is if done right.

What seems like a simple and safe exercise can be the single movement that triggers your pain. Then, with no help from doctors or therapists, you’re left on your own to navigate what you should do if your workouts aren't bringing relief. 

Due to the lack of support from people you can trust 9 times out of 10 it leads you to make these common critical mistakes:

⇒ Picking exercises that cause more pain and symptoms or worse more damage than there was before you started. 

⇒ Following generic workout routines that set the healing process back or, worse, stall it entirely. 

⇒ Jumping into fad workouts like CrossFit, Boot Camp Style training, or HIIT, thinking, “as long as I am exercising, I should be doing good.”

These are to name a few. 

The reality is that your doctor or surgeon doesn't know about strength training outside of the fact they know “exercise is good for us.”

They can’t suggest anything to follow once you've been cleared to resume regular activity. Their hands are tied, and they no longer treat you (aka getting paid).

So guess what, you’re on your own, and in hopes of doing the right thing, you turn to the internet. 

You may already know this, but back pain isn’t necessarily the “sexy topic” floating around the fitness industry. 

So instead of safe, intelligent workout routines for you to follow, you get stuck with pain-provoking bodybuilding, circuit style, HIIT, or boot camp style workouts which will only make your pain and symptoms unpredictable or even worse. 

You won’t find anything for post fusions, laminectomy, discectomies, disc herniations, bulges, ruptures, etc.

Which leaves you more frustrated and with ZERO direction in what is safe for you.

You shouldn't fear exercise even with a history of back pain or spinal surgery but you have to be smart about how you approach exercise as a tool for relief. 

A smart training program consists of 3 things:

A Smart Warm-Up and Cool-Down: Your warm-up AND your cool-down sets the stage for the rest of your workout as well as how you feel 24-48 hours after the workout is over. It needs to be safe yet open the door for healing, strengthening and continued recovery. 

Properly Timed and Smart Core Training: Stop doing any old ab exercise or things you see other people doing in the gym. Most of them are absolute junk and don't belong in your program. You need to do exercises that promote full body coordination along with doing them at the right time in your workout. Yes, WHEN you train your core is just as important as WHAT exercise you do.

Smart Exercise Choice: Not all exercises are created equal. To be frank yes, there are exercises that will cause more harm and yes, there is a reason why the exercises you're doing now continue to keep you inflamed and battling unpredictable flare-ups and pain.

For years I have been writing and designing workout programs for post-spinal surgery clients as well as those who have been struggling with chronic back pain. 

I know the process and the subtle nuances of chronic low back pain after all I ruptured my L5-S1 disc and was diagnosed with multiple levels of degeneration, so I get it. I know what a spinal-surgery does to you both mentally and physically which is why having the right workout routine is so critical for your continued recovery. 

Armed with over a decade of experience and knowledge working in the fitness space professionally and having overcome over 6 years of back pain for myself, I have created a very specific RESULT producing formula that I follow when crafting workouts. 

This formula is designed to take someone who is scared to death of making a mistake, causing more pain or damage and showing them how to build confidence back in their body and mind through specially crafted workout routines that are safe yet challenging at the same time. 

For years I have kept these close and only used them to construct tailored workouts for my private clients but I wanted you to have the opportunity to change your life and fear around building a stronger, more resilient body.

I want to introduce you to the...

The Smart Strength Membership is the first online video based workout subscription that delivers done for you safe workout routines designed with the post-surgery and chronic back pain sufferer in mind. 

In this membership you are going to have a tailored sensitive back friendly workout routine delivered to you every single month that you are a member that you can follow even if: 

==> It’s difficult to exercise due to constant pain and fear of making it worse.

==> You feel like you have hit a wall with your current workout routine and progress has stopped.

==> You’re scared to death of triggering another flare-up or month long cycle of pain.

This membership was built and formatted with you and your fears, struggles and concerns in mind. You want to feel stronger, more confident and start back on the right path to recovery while getting results...

Where will you be 3 months, 6 months or even a year from today if you don't choose to invest in yourself?

How do you think your body will feel? How much worse will you be? 

I many hobbies, activities and daily tasks are you going to continue to remove from your life just to find new ways to cope with your fear and pain? 

Take it from someone who has lived it himself and has witness hundreds of others do the same:

You will still be in pain, taking medications to dull the pain, stretching and doing exercises that will only make your pain worse.

You will still have the same excuses as to why you haven't at least started to explore the power exercise can have on your mind and body. 

You will continue showing up to those dead end meetings with your doctors, chiropractors and pain management specialists that continue to take you down the wrong path. 

Make the leap and invest in the tools you're using to get out of pain and on the right track to exercising safe and building a strong more confident body. Remember, there is absolutely NO RISK to you. 

See you on the inside...
