Back Pain & Mobility
Personal Training.
Strength-based coaching that helps you move better, feel stronger, and stop chasing symptoms. Most back pain is an imbalance, not your age. We treat the cause, not the floor.
POSTERIOR CHAIN · POSTURE · MOVEMENT
What 1:1 at 5EW actually is.
Built around the muscles that support your spine, not the ones that hurt. Trusted by local osteos, physios and healthcare professionals.
Pricing is membership-based and shaped around session frequency.
We walk you through it during your free consult.
How it actually works.
Four steps. No “quick transformation” language. We start with a conversation, build from data, and keep adjusting, because the first programme is never the last one.

Four questions the consult usually covers anyway. Here first, in case they’re the blocker.
How long is each session?
Forty-five minutes, 1:1, with the same coach each time. Long enough to warm up properly, work the muscles that actually need it, and finish with mobility to take into the rest of the day.
My back’s flared up. Should I wait to start?
Usually no, but bring whatever your physio or chiro has told you, and we’ll factor it in. The first session is a movement assessment, not a heavy lift. We start where your body can tolerate, and build from there.
I’ve tried stretching and massage. Why is this different?
Stretching the area that hurts and massaging the tightness only treats the symptom. Lasting change comes from strengthening the muscles that support the spine: glutes, hips, deep core, posterior chain. That’s what we build.
How does pricing work?
