How Dr. Brett’s Mother Overcame Severe Back Pain and Started Deadlifting Again

When Dr. Brett’s mother called him, she couldn’t walk because of severe back pain. For many, this level of pain might seem like a reason to rest and avoid movement—but that’s exactly what keeps the pain from improving.

Shortly after that episode, she was back on her feet and deadlifting over 100 lbs.

Why Strengthening Your Back is the Solution—Not the Problem

Most people with back pain fear exercises like deadlifts, believing they’ll make things worse. But the reality is avoiding movement is what makes back pain worse. The key isn’t to stop moving—it’s to strengthen the back the right way.

If you’ve tried before and it didn’t help (or even made things worse), it’s because how you strengthen matters. You need:

The Right Exercises – Movements that target the real cause of your pain.

The Right Technique – Proper form ensures you’re strengthening, not straining.
