I've been where you are.
Chiropractor, owner ATX Rehab & Performance
When I was 20, I hurt my low back squatting in the gym. Looking back as a clinician, it was most likely a herniated disc. I went from an athletic college student who lived in lectures, the library, and the gym — to needing my girlfriend's help to put on my shoes. (That's her with our Corgi, Rosie. She's my wife now, the only logical next step when someone helps you with your socks mid-flare-up.)
For the next 4 months I bounced between chiropractors, physical therapy, and weeks of complete rest. Nothing helped. I still couldn't sit in a chair for more than 20 minutes, which was a problem with a 3+ hour chemistry lab that semester.
After month 5, I decided to get proactive. I went back to the gym and built my own version of rehab. It took way too much trial and error, but I eventually found a method that worked, and I was back to training a few months later. Lifting 5x a week. Sitting through my lectures without having to get up every 20 minutes. Putting my own shoes on.
Two years later, in chiropractic school, I learned the how and why behind what worked for me. That became the foundation for how I help people skip the mistakes I made and rebuild their back faster.
But I’m not selling some magic formula. 1 easy & special treatment that will fix everyone. Because I’ll be the first to tell you — if there’s one thing I’ve learned after working with 100s of people with low back pain / herniated discs / sciatica — it’s that that doesn’t exist.
But that’s ok. Because if you’re like me — you’re not looking for something that’s easy.
You’re just looking for something that works.
And you won't be doing it alone. I'll be in your corner the whole way.
How it works
I'll provide the planning, the roadmap, the adjustments, and everything in between. You just show up and do the work.
We talk through your entire history: what you've tried, what you want to get back to doing, and your long-term goals. You'll leave knowing where to start, even if we don't end up working together.
Based on the information from our call, I'll construct a movement screen designed to find what your back handles well, what we need to work towards, and where you can start to make real progress right away.
Your plan lands in the app with every workout for the week labeled. Every exercise comes with video tutorials, prescribed reps / sets / weights, and notes specifically for you. All of it is designed around your back, your equipment, and your goals. Open it and get started without hesitation.
Log your workouts, send form-check videos, and check in with me. Every 2 weeks I update your plan to match where you are, and keep pushing it forward as your back improves. If something ever sets you back, we adjust and keep going.
The Timeline
The stages between where you're at now and where you want to be.
We find out what your back can already do and build from there. We reintroduce function, rebuild strength and mobility, and make easy tasks tolerable again. Expect workouts that feel like real training, just built at a level your back can handle.
To push the top end of what your back can handle, we introduce more challenging and complex variations. The question starts shifting from "can I do this?" to "how much of this can I do?" as your back progresses.
We train up to your goal and bring back the activities you've been missing. Because your back can now handle tough tasks in our workouts, everyday life feels easy again instead of risky.
Your back can handle real training now, so we focus on keeping it that way. We push past where you were before the injury, and you finish with the workouts and the know-how to keep going on your own.

Questions
This program is built entirely around you, your back, and the outcomes you're after. It's not a cookie-cutter protocol. Because I update it every two weeks based on your results and feedback, it keeps evolving to meet you where you're at, which is how we avoid plateaus. You also have a direct line to me, so any desire or concern about the plan gets heard.
The result is a fully personalized plan designed to get you the most progress as soon as possible. Think of it like a private dinner where you pick the appetizer, the entree, the sides, the drinks, and the dessert, versus a pre-packaged box from a caterer.
We start with a movement screen to see where your back is today and map out how we'll reach your goals. From there, every workout lives in the app.
Open any workout and you'll see the prescribed sets, reps, and weights, notes written specifically for you, and a video tutorial for each exercise. You can also send me videos of your exercises so I can check your form and execution.
Every two weeks, I update your workouts based on the results I see in your logs and the feedback you send me through our ongoing texts.
It's a four-month, or sixteen-week, program. On our consult call we'll go over why four months is a great duration and walk through the full timeline, so you know exactly what to expect.
That four months isn't set in stone. Life happens, so there's flexibility to react to sudden changes or breaks. If something comes up and you can't hit your workouts for a few weeks, we can pause and restart once you're available again. You never have to worry that you're losing time off your four-month window.
That's what the free consult call is for. We'll talk through your history and what you want to get back to, and I'll give you an honest answer, even if that means telling you coaching isn't the right fit.
