We tackle how to assess and treat different types of back pain, combining evidence-based approaches with movement-based classifications that actually work for athletes and active individuals.

• Creating a systematic approach to back pain starts with understanding whether it's chronic sensitization or repeated acute flare-ups
• Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) often provide overwhelming lists of possible treatments without clear direction
• Differentiating between extension-intolerant, flexion-intolerant, and compression-intolerant patterns guides treatment
• Daily habits and postures often contribute more to pain than specific incidents
• Modifying activities throughout the day helps reset pain sensitivity - "like recalibrating an alarm system"
• Education about what patients do outside of PT is often more important than any specific exercise
• For athletes, progression must include sport-specific movements and correcting technical flaws
• Basic exercises like bird dogs and dead bugs are starting points, not complete solutions
• Return to sport requires gradual progression through strength, power, and sport-specific movements
• Proper bracing techniques and movement patterns are essential for long-term prevention
