Comment “🔥” for our Free Flare Management Toolkit!

The definition of flares (and pain for that matter) is pretty broad.

But I think that’s the point.
👉🏼 These experiences are mostly subjective, so they should be hard to define and they should allow for flexibility in the application to each client.

When clients are worried about flares, we don’t simply go back to avoidance, but rather ask 3 simple questions:

1️⃣ Can we make the movement more stable?
2️⃣ Can we lower the intensity?
3️⃣ Can we modify volume?

Usually the answer to all is YES, however if or when we hit a NO then simple modifications to positions or coaching cues usually does the trick.

How do you manage/define flares as a client or clinician?

💥 If you’re getting treated for chronic pain the same way you’d get treated for a sprained ankle…you might find your recovery much harder.

🎙️ In this episode of the Beyond Pain Podcast, we break down the differences between:

➡️ Acute pain
➡️ Chronic pain
➡️ Pain flare-ups
👉🏼 And more importantly…why each one needs a completely different rehab approach.

Find out:
🔹 Why pain isn’t always a sign of damage
🔹 How stress, sleep, and lifestyle impact chronic pain
🔹 Why rehab timelines are NEVER one-size-fits-all
🔹 How to rebuild confidence when pain keeps returning

🌀 Healing isn’t a straight line.
👉🏼 And your body isn’t broken because recovery takes longer than expected

“Acute vs Chronic Pain: Why Your Rehab Isn’t Working (And What to Expect Instead)”

It wasn’t 6 seconds, 6 weeks, 6 months or even 6 years that helped me achieve my goals with my health, my relationships, and my business.

Spoiler: It likely will be the same for your journey with pain.

I’ve had my share of pain and injuries:
💥 Broken bones
💥 Low Back Pain
💥 Tendinitis (In almost every body part 😂)
👉🏼 When it comes to helping people in pain, I draw from the experiences of my life.

In 2018 I was depressed, not working out, barely sleeping, and going through a divorce.

Then one conversation with changed my direction, then kept me there.
✨ Something I always remember every time I meet and interact with a new client who is struggling.

“This can be a moment that changes their life.”

That’s not hyperbole.
That’s what I believe. Every. Single. Time.

But I know I might only be the start of their journey and I also know I might not be there for the end - which is why providing the tools for every client to be successful is so important.

That is why we offer in-person appointments, virtual consultations, strength and pain coaching, virtual training, and countless free resources.

Getting out of pain and toward your goals is not easy, and it won’t happen overnight, but we can promise that we will be there with you every step of the way.

When you ASSUME you make an ASS out of U and ME - at least that’s what my uncle used to say.

👱🏻‍♂️ “My back hurts when deadlifting, what do you think it is?”
🧔🏻‍♂️ “I have no idea, why don’t you show me first?”

🧔🏻‍♂️ “I think I can see where you’re adding a bit of stress to your back, nothing you were doing was wrong, but what if we try….”
👱🏻‍♂️ + 🧠….
🧔🏻‍♂️ ….
👱🏻‍♂️ “Yeah that’s a lot better!”

If you’re getting overwhelmed, stuck in bird dog purgatory “building your core” and don’t feel like you have a clear path forward - we can help with that.

Am I giving one exercise too much credit? Maybe - but split squats have become a staple in my programming recently for both myself and my clients.

They have a low barrier to entry, endless progression options, and a ton of carryover to real life and sport.

Split squats help expose and address side-to-side strength deficits that can sometimes fly under the radar during bilateral exercises like squats, leg press, etc.

They also help build single-leg control and develop qualities that transfer well to:
🏃running
📈 climbing hills/stairs
✅ getting off the floor
⚡️ cutting/changing direction
🏈 returning to sports

One of the biggest reasons I love split squats is how adaptable they are.

You can manipulate:
- torso position
- stride length/width
- front or rear foot elevation
- tempo
- loading strategy
- range of motion
…to bias different muscle groups and match different goals.

They can be programmed for just about everyone from beginner lifters and rehab clients to athletes and experienced lifters.

Simple exercise. Big payoff when scaled appropriately.

If some variation of split squats isn’t part of your program in some capacity, there’s probably a good case for why it should be.

Don’t have the motivation, time or opportunity to move or exercise?

and have a solution!

Take a peek at your day and notice the following:

1️⃣ Stay - These are things you cannot move, wave goodbye to that time
2️⃣ Stack - These are things you can add movement too AND still get done
3️⃣ Swap - These are things that are less important to the success of your day or don’t necessarily fit your current goals
4️⃣ Squeeze - These are all the “little moments” between meals, walking into different rooms, or waiting for coffee

Once you pick which one is best for you it’s just a matter of staying consistent. 1 minute, 10 minutes or 1 hour all count!

📕 WALK is out now!

The biggest driver in positive outcomes with persistent pain is not how strong you are.

It’s not your posture.

It’s not your alignment.

It’s not how you breathe.

It’s your self efficacy.
👉🏼 Or the belief in your ability to perform the necessary behaviors to produce a specific outcome.

The biggest gifts we offer people in pain is a listening ear, an attempt to make sense of their story, and a focus on all the things they can do.

It’s amazing to see how quickly perceptions can change.

What are “wins” in physical therapy?

The goal should rarely JUST be “being completely pain free”. If that’s the only marker of progress, I’d encourage you to dig a little deeper.

A post from a while back really stuck with me. He compared pain and rehab to financial investing - most people don’t get rich overnight. It’s the result of small gains compounding over time.

Rehab works the same way.

So what are the “compound interest” wins in PT?

- Getting stronger
- Tolerated movements more easily
- Recovering faster between exercise sessions
- Less frequent flare ups
- Less intense symptoms
- Feeling more confident moving again
- Less emotional response to the presence of pain
- Returning to activities or movement patterns you’ve been avoiding

The list goes on and on.

I’ve had this conversation many times with patients who feel they aren’t improving because some pain is still present - while they’re simultaneously doing things they couldn’t do weeks earlier.

Progress in rehab is often subtle before it becomes obvious.

Pay attention to the small wins, they tend to compound.

Most people don’t need MORE treatment, they need a better understanding.

When pain feels dangerous, it gets louder.
When it feels manageable, it can start to quiet down

Pain isn’t just about alerting us of damage to tissues - it’s about perception, uncertainty, and threat.

Real reassurance is not:
❌“You’re fine, just push through it”
❌ Empty positivity
❌ “No pain, no gain”

Real reassurance is:
✅ Clear explanations
✅ Context around imaging and diagnoses
✅ A plan that builds confidence step by step

The goal is never just to reduce pain.
It’s to change how someone relates to it.

Sometimes knowing where to start isn’t the first step, it’s knowing that it’s okay to start.

Because when people feel safe to move again, everything changes.
