My low back was not loving life this morning. đ
And honestly? I knew exactly why.
The past few weeks have been full. My stress has been high, my sleep and recovery havenât been great, my morning mobility routine became less consistent, and I wasnât fueling my body as well as I normally do.
Sound familiar?
This is your reminder that your body doesnât exist in a vacuum.
Your back pain, stiffness, recovery, and ability to tolerate movement arenât just influenced by *what exercise you did* or *what stretch you forgot to do.*
Sleep matters. Stress matters. Nutrition matters. Movement matters. Recovery matters.
So this morning, I didnât try to force my back to âloosen upâ or jump straight into a hard workout.
I started by calming my nervous system, finding positions that felt good, gradually introducing movement, and thenâmost importantlyâadding a little load back in.
Because the goal isnât to have a body that never gets tight, sore, or irritated.
The goal is to build a body that can handle life...and bounce back when life gets a little chaotic.
Your body is capable of more than you thinkâgive it the tools it needs to recover, adapt, and bounce back stronger.
đ Save this for the next time your back feels tight or irritated.
Feel Better. Move Better. Live Well.
