Over time, the biggest drain isn’t only the pain itself — it’s the ongoing effort of managing your body and factoring your back into everyday decisions. That’s usually where the missing piece is.
What’s actually going on (and why nothing has fully worked)Most people are told their back pain is about strength, posture, or damage.
But many people:
- have disc changes and feel no pain
- have “normal” scans and feel awful
That’s because pain isn’t produced by muscles or discs alone. It’s produced by the nervous system — based on how safe or threatened it perceives your body to be. After injury, stress, surgery, or repeated flare-ups, the system can stay in protection mode.
Not because something is broken — but because the pattern hasn’t updated.This is why:- strengthening doesn’t always help
- stretching can feel pointless or aggravating
- doing more often leads to more guarding
In other words, the issue isn’t effort or discipline. It’s that the system is still operating as if protection is required.
That’s the piece most approaches never address.
Why managing your back keeps you stuckYou’ve likely learned to:
- Brace without realising it
- Hold your breath during movement
- Avoid certain positions “just in case”
- Monitor your spine constantly
These strategies once made sense. But over time, they keep the system on high alert. The result? A back that feels unpredictable — even when nothing is technically “wrong.”
What this work does differentlyThis is not another exercise programme. And it’s not about pushing through pain.
My work focuses on helping your nervous system feel safe enough to stop protecting.
When that happens:
- Bracing reduces without effort
- Movement feels more natural
- Confidence returns without forcing it
- Pain often changes as a side‑effect, not a goal
This is neuro‑informed re‑education — not generic rehab.My approachI work one‑to‑one with people worldwide who experience persistent or recurring low back pain and feel stuck in management mode.
I don’t look at muscles or posture in isolation. I assess how your nervous system is organising movement, breathing, and protection — and where safety is missing.
Real change looks like:- Getting up without checking your back
- Sitting and moving without constant adjustment
- Saying yes without first asking “will my back cope?”
- No irritability or withdrawal
- The days become predictable
Eventually: Your back stops being something you think about all the time.Who this work is forThis work is for people who:
- have followed advice and applied rehab consistently
- are tired of managing their back and want a clearer explanation
- want guidance that makes sense, not just instructions
- are ready to engage with a structured process and apply it properly
Who this work is NOT for- This is NOT a quick fix.
- It’s not designed for people looking for another generic programme, random exercises, or surface-level advice.
- If you’re hoping for something instant, passive, or identical to what you’ve already tried, this won’t be the right fit.
- If you’ve tried the standard approach and it hasn’t fully worked, this work is designed for that exact situation.
About meHi, I’m Diana.
I’m a breath, movement, and nervous system coach with a professional background in physiotherapy. For over 10 years, I’ve worked with people who’ve done the rehab, followed the rules, and still didn’t feel right in their body.
This approach comes from repeatedly seeing the same pattern: people doing the right rehab, but their body still doesn’t trust movement.
The invitation
If you’re tired of supervising your own movement —and you know something deeper is going on— You can apply for a free discovery call below. We’ll talk through your situation and see whether this way of working is the right fit.
This work is for people who’ve done the rehab and followed the advice — and still don’t feel right in their body.
