Training people with a bad back.

Most people who describe themselves as having a ‘bad back’ can train — and training is part of how they get better. This free one-page guide is the checklist I keep in mind when a client with recurring back pain starts working with me.

Ten points from 14+ years of coaching and the research behind the rePower Method, including:

• when to refer to a GP before you start
• why a scan finding isn’t an explanation
• the words that build fear of movement, and what to say instead
• how to tell when a client is ready to progress
