I brought Brendan (Low Back Ability) to the gym to walk me through the exact exercises he recommends for rebuilding a resilient body - from feet and hips to low back and shoulders. We talk about why chronic pain can destroy identity and confidence, why the “rest / scan / inject / surgery” pipeline often misses the root issue, and how simple training progressions can change everything.After the session we head to the studio and go deeper on the Long Game approach: building tissue tolerance, using “squeeze then stretch,” avoiding false fixes (peptides/injections) without doing the strength work, and how to start with small daily “deposits” that stack into real freedom.
