Your strength sessions shouldn’t cost you time on the mat

If squats and deadlifts keep flaring up your low back, you have options beyond pushing through or quitting

Adjust the setup, range of motion, or load to find a starting point you can tolerate—then build from there

Keep getting stronger

Keep showing up on the mats

DM me “BACK” if you’re tired of choosing between lifting and grappling

Getting older doesn’t mean you have to stop training hard

But it does mean you need to be more intentional about how you prepare yourself

The human body has limitations

That’s the reality

But your body’s capacity to tolerate different positions, ranges of motion, and physical loads is trainable

The catch?

It doesn’t happen by accident

It takes consistent, targeted training over a long period of time

And generally speaking, the older we get, the more patience that process requires

You might not be able to move exactly like the 20-year-old phenom at your gym

But that doesn’t mean you can’t become a stronger, more dangerous grappler yourself

And if you’re curious about what that could look like for you

If you want your body to tolerate the demands of grappling

You need to progressively build the strength and capacity to handle those demands

Strength training isn’t just about getting stronger

It’s about building a body that’s more resilient, more capable, and better prepared for the stresses of training

Build your suit of armor

Stay on the mats

If you’re curious what strength & conditioning could look like for you

Every case of low back pain is unique

What works for one grappler may or may not work for another

Which is why it’s so important to work with someone that truly understands your sport

BUT

Two consistent drivers of pain and disability in grapplers experiencing an acute flare are a ramped up nervous system and a lack of pain free movement

When you get out of fight or flight mode and teach your body how to move without pain

That’s where the momentum really starts to build

If you’ve been stuck taking time off the mats for persistent low back flare ups

I’d love to talk

A disc herniation doesn’t mean you’re done grappling

You just need to find the right recipe to get you back on the mats

If you’re a grappler curious about what coming back from a disc herniation looks like

Low back pain is incredibly common in grappling

But “common” doesn’t mean it should just be accepted as part of the sport

The goal isn’t to make your back invincible over night

It’s to build enough strength, mobility, capacity, and confidence that your body is better prepared for the stress you’re asking it to handle every week

If your back constantly dictates how hard you train, what positions you avoid, or whether you get on the mats at all, that’s worth addressing

My big toe has been taking a beating the past month

It’s not terribly painful

It doesn’t keep me from doing anything

And would be super easy for me to ignore completely

But it’s equally easy to dedicate 5 minutes 3-4x’s/week to show my foot some love

The goal isn’t to feel good today

It’s to feel good next week, next month, and years into the future

For a lot of grapplers, getting out of pain isn’t really the end goal

They want to feel capable again

Capable of training hard

Capable of trusting their body

Capable of handling themselves if something goes wrong in real life

And most importantly—capable of protecting the people they love if they ever need to

When pain or injury starts taking that confidence away, it can feel like you’re losing a part of yourself

And that’s hard to admit

That’s why rehab shouldn’t just be about getting you out of pain

It’s about rebuilding a body you trust

Strong, resilient & capable

So when life asks something of you, you don’t have to wonder whether your body can handle it

Looking rough after an acute back injury doesn’t mean you’re broken—or that you need to shut everything down for weeks

We found movements his back accepted, worked on improving posture, and gave him a simple plan to keep moving between visits

Two days later: moving significantly better and already working his way back toward normal activity

The goal isn’t to magically “fix” someone in one treatment

It’s to figure out what their body responds to and start moving them in the right direction

Pain that keeps coming back deserves more than a temporary fix

The goal isn’t just to help you feel better for a few days

It’s to understand why you keep dealing with the same problem, build a plan around it, and give you the tools to keep making progress outside the clinic

Better understanding

Better movement

More confidence in your body

That’s the standard at D1CHIRO+
