Your First Week

  • Minimal variety: the same flows repeat for a reason. Consistency builds adaptation.
  • Expect small wins: your first goal is to learn how your body responds, not to fix everything at once
  • Remember: 3 out of 10 effort can cause change.

Flare-Ups & Pain Questions

  • Flare-ups are feedback, not failure. They help you learn your limits.
  • During a flare: drop to pain-free flows, active rest, and walking.
  • Starting after injury: wait until pain calms then begin at the easisest level.
  • Sciativa or nerve symptoms: these often appear as you reintroduce movements. Stay below the flare line and let your body adapt slowly.
  • Remember: pain is a guidepost, not a verdict.

Program Structure & Schedule

  • Flow: Mon, Wed, Fri (main back and body work)
  • Mobility Flow: Tue, Thu (gentle, opening work)
  • Rest days: Sat, Sun (optional walking or light movement, nothing forced)
  • Regular gym training: pause or reduce at first. Rebuild your back before adding external load.
  • Choose the movements you can handle now with low intensiity, small ranges, and controlled effort.

Progression: When & How To Level Up

  • Don't rush levels: stay at each step until it feels easy and repeatable without flare-ups.
  • Add intensity slowly: small jumps in load or range beats big leaps.
  • Signs you're ready: no next day flare-ups, movements feel controlled, recovery is consistent.
  • Qualitative over quantitative: progress is about how you feel, not about chasing numbers.
  • Remember: consistency beats intensity every time.

Common Questions Answered

  • "Do I need to do every exercise?" -> Start with the basics - add on only when ready.
  • "Life is busy, how can I progress?" -> It's better to do less consistently than to disappear completely. Even one or two sessions per week keeps the line moving forward.
  • "Can I combine SI join or PT exercises?" -> Yes, as long as you stay below flare level.
  • "How long until results?" -> Expect months, not weeks. The Long Game takes time.
