MoveMed Eight | Bad Back Is No Excuse - My (UK) Parents (Scaled) Exercise for Movement Longevity

Описание: Yes, these are my UK parents (aka my wife's parents)! Dave and Annette join me for this mic’d-up, real-time MoveMed 8 follow-along session - showing that you can always make movement work for you, no matter your history or hesitations.

Dave (61) has quite the medical CV:
Multiple lumbar spine procedures
Cervical and lumbar disc problems
Facet joint injections
Rhizotomies
Frozen shoulder surgeries

Despite all this, he’s been doing the MoveMed 8 for a year now - and has had no back pain at all in that time.

Annette (53) lived with:
Costochondritis
Confirmed torn cartilage in her chest
Years of fear about moving

After a year of consistently doing the MoveMed 8, she reports no chest pain or flare-ups, and can now hang from a pull-up bar.

This video is designed to show that movement is scalable and safe - even if you’ve had decades of pain, fear, or serious injuries.

What is the MoveMed 8?

These are 8 essential movement patterns I teach patients to build lifelong spinal health and resilience:

1. Push – Upper body strength & stability
2. Pull – Posture & joint balance
3. Lift – Functional strength & injury prevention
4. Lower Leg – Leg power for walking & balance
5. Back Extension – Spinal health & mobility & posterior chain strength
6. Back Side Extension – Posterior & lateral chain strength
7. Couch Stretch and ATG Split Squat – Hip flexibility & pain relief
8. Dead Hang / Hip Flexor Raise – Grip strength & core control

What you’ll get in this video:
Real-time, mic’d-up coaching from me
Variations and scaled options for real people with real injury histories
Commentary on form, safety, and modifying movements to suit you

Core Principles of Neural Re-Education (NRE):
Discomfort is part of the process
Progress should be incremental, deliberate, urgent, and consistent
Start small, stay consistent, and always prioritise quality over quantity

Movement is medicine - no matter your age, history, or where you call home (even if you’re my “UK parents”). This real-time session highlights:

The importance of scaling movements to your own ability
How to work within your current range of motion
Why consistency and patience are everything - big gains come after 2–6 months of doing this once or twice a week

Why this matters?
The MoveMed 8 isn’t about perfect form or pushing through pain. It’s about re-learning how to move, safely and deliberately. Whether you’re recovering from injury, dealing with long-term conditions, or simply wanting to move better as you age, these movements are designed to support you.

Progress should be incremental, deliberate, urgent, and consistent
