Lower Back Pain Rehab: Blending Capacity, Tolerance, and Education

Lower back pain is one of the most misunderstood and overcomplicated issues in rehab and performance. This workshop cuts through the noise

Lower back pain is one of the most misunderstood — and overcomplicated — issues in rehab and performance.
This workshop cuts through the noise.

In this hands-on, applied session we’ll cover:

• The modern understanding of low back pain
• Capacity vs. tolerance — and how they actually drive decision-making
• How to assess athletic low back pain without overmedicalizing it
• Movement progressions for returning to sport and training
• Language and communication strategies that build confidence, not fear
• Real cases from the MTM facility and how we approached each one

Perfect for PT students, new grads, and coaches who want simple, effective frameworks for guiding clients through back pain and back to their lives.
