*Sound up*

The missing piece is the core? 🧩

Just work your core more if you want to be more powerful when playing.

That’s all I’ll say about this video ✌️

DM me if you want to know how to be more powerful.

You are allowed to slouch.

There. We said it.

A lot of people have spent years being told that sitting and standing up straight will protect their back.

Shoulders back. Chest up. Core tight.

Blah Blah Blah. All to make sure you're in the 'Right Posture'.

Ask yourself what even is the 'right posture'

And after sitting upright all day we wonder why it feels like hard work.

We recently had a patient who assumed their tendency to slump meant their core was weak.

But there is no single perfect sitting or standing position that prevents back pain.

There's also no sitting or standing position that causes back pain.

Sometimes slouching is comfortable.

Sometimes sitting upright feels better.

You don't need to be worried about either being a problem.

The bigger problem is often staying in any one position for too long.

Not moving for long periods.

That's the real villain.

Your body likes options.

Whether you like being upright or slouching it doesn't matter.

What matters is you move around.

Your posture does not need to look perfect.

It needs to be comfortable. You need to feel relaxed when you're just sitting in a chair.

At Seib, we want people to leave understanding their body rather than becoming frightened of normal movement (or posture). That clarity is a big part of restoring confidence.

Good rehab should make your world bigger.

Not give you an ever growing list of things you should avoid.

At Seib Health & Performance, we want to understand what your body currently trusts and what it does not.

Then we build from there.

That might start with simple mobility or controlled strength work.

Later it might mean heavier lifting, lunging, jumping, running or preparing for sport.

The exact exercises matter less than the reason behind them.

Every stage should move you closer to something you actually care about.

Training without thinking about your back.

Walking further.

Playing sport.

Picking up your kids.

Getting through a workday without wondering what will flare next.

Our approach follows three stages.

Recover. Understand what is happening and what comes next.

Move. Rebuild trust in your body.

Perform. Build the capacity to do difficult things again.

The goal is not for you to need us forever.

It is for you to become increasingly confident without us.

If you want help getting back to what matters to you, send us a DM or book a consult.

A muscle can feel weak without the muscle itself being the whole problem.

We had a patient ask a great question recently.

“Are these exercises basically teaching my brain to send the right messages again?”

In simple terms, yes.

After pain or injury, your nervous system can become protective.

It may reduce how much force it lets you produce through an area because it does not fully trust that area yet.

A clear example is the quad after an ACL injury. The muscle can shrink because the nervous system reduces how much you use it. Atrophy occurs and the muscle size dramatically drops.

That protection makes sense early on.

But if it stays around for too long, it can become part of the problem.

This is why rehab is not just about making muscles stronger.

We progressively expose your body to movement and load so it gets more evidence that it is safe and capable.

Over time, the signal becomes cleaner.

Movement becomes more predictable.

Trust comes back.

That is what we mean when we talk about rebuilding confidence in your body.

If you want to know more, send us a DM.

If you want less injuries you need to learn how to be stiff through the ankle.

While there are literally hundreds of exercises that can teach you this..

Pogos are one of my favourite places to start for those who are starting from scratch.

Tech yourself to do a good pogo and you’ll have a nice platform to build from.

Have you ever experienced a reformer class with ?

You haven't lived then!

When you're coming back from pain or an injury it can be overwhelming jumping straight into a class.

You don't know if the instructor will understand your pain.

Can they modify the session so you can still get a good workout in?

The pain makes you cautious.

You want to go to class but you are not sure what is right for your body.

What exercise may set everything off.

Or maybe you simply want someone watching how you move instead of trying to work it out yourself.

That is where private Pilates can help.

It gives us the chance to work with you one to one.

We can understand what you are finding difficult, choose movements that suit where you are now and progress them as your confidence grows.

The aim is bigger than completing a Pilates session.

We want you to understand your body.

We want movement to become predictable again.

And over time, we want you to need less guidance because you trust what your body can do.

All under the guidance of Liv who is the Queen of giving you a killer workout regardless of your injury.

If you are interested in private Pilates at Seib Health & Performance, send us a DM or book a consult.

“I was doing so well. Now I feel like I'm back at the start.”

We hear this a lot after pain flares up.

But recovery is rarely a perfectly straight line.

One patient recently had an increase in hip and knee pain after progressing their squat.

The important part was understanding why.

We had progressed the rehab and in a previous session and realised it was simply too much, too soon for where the body was at.

That does not mean all the previous work was wasted.

It gives us information.

We can adjust, rebuild the baseline and gradually expose the body to more again.

The difference is we now know where the limit is.

Good rehab is not about never feeling anything or feeling everything.

It is about becoming more capable of dealing with what life and training throw at you.

A bad day is one day.

Look at what your body can do over months, not what it did this morning.

If you want to know more about managing flare ups, send us a DM.

Recurrent hamstring strains got you down?

Give this exercise a go!

It can be a really nice addition to your rehab if you struggle with hamstring strains while sprinting.

In the video i’m showing an isometric version but you can do reps, longer isometrics, shorter more intense isometrics. Up to you.

The hamstring experiences up to 9x your body weight while sprinting so training it to tolerate high forces in a lengthened position is one key to minimising re-injury.

If you want to know more about hamstring strains DM us.

Getting out of pain is one thing.

Trusting your body again is another.

That is why rehab does not stop when your pain goes away.

You need to know whether your body is ready for what your life actually asks of it.

Can you squat?

Can you lunge?

Can you lift?

Can you absorb a quick change in force?

Can you get back into the gym without constantly wondering if your back, knee or hip will flare again?

At Seib Health & Performance, rehabilitation is about progressively rebuilding those abilities.

We Recover first. We help you understand what is happening and give you a plan.

Then we Move. We rebuild trust in your body.

Then we Perform. We prepare you for the things you actually want to do.

Because the goal is not to make you dependent on treatment.

It is to make you increasingly confident without it.

If you are ready to start rebuilding, send us a DM or book a consult.

Your back went when you bent over.

So bending over must have caused it. Right?

Not always.

We recently had this conversation with someone whose back pain seemed to start when they bent over and felt their back go.

But when we looked further back, there was more to the story.

There had already been a long period of walking with a heavy backpack. Their back had started becoming uncomfortable. Certain movements were already bothering it.

Then they bent over one night to pick something up off the floor.

That's where their back went on them.

It was less like one movement suddenly damaging the back and more like the straw that broke the camel's back.

If you believe one simple movement hurt you, it is easy to become worried about doing that movement again.

Understanding the whole story & what contributed to the problem gives clarity for recovery.

It allows you to build your ability to move and load your body again without fear of that simple action of bending over.

That is how we go from being scared of basic movements like bending over to trusting your body again to bend over and pick up your kid.
