I was told I’d never lift again.

I’m a physio and a strength coach. I help injured lifters around the world get back under the bar because I know exactly what it’s like to be told you can’t.

The hardest part of my day was putting on my socks

In 2017 I hurt my back attempting a max-effort snatch. What followed was two and a half years of chronic low back pain that took over my life. I was working a physically demanding restaurant job that made it worse every single day.

The hardest part of my day wasn’t training. It was putting on my socks and sitting on the toilet.

I saw three physiotherapists. All three told me the same thing:
stop lifting.

I didn’t accept that. I went back to school, became a physiotherapist myself, and rebuilt my back the way I wish someone had shown me: with load, structure and patience instead of rest and avoidance. Then I deadlifted 600 lbs.

That experience shaped everything about how I coach. Most rehab is built to calm pain down. Very little of it is built to get you back to the lifts you love. That gap is where I work.

Rehab that looks like training

I work with lifters who have been told to stop, rest, or accept a smaller version of training. Powerlifters, weightlifters, CrossFitters and people who simply love lifting heavy.

Every program starts with a full assessment. From there we keep you training the whole way through, adjusting load, range and position so pain guides the dose instead of stopping the process. You get weekly check-ins, video feedback and a coach who knows your lifts by name.

The full story, in my own words

3 physios told me I’d never lift weights again. Here’s how I got to 600 lbs anyway.
