Until Mitch began working with Stu the results had been disappointing; during their first session together Mitch shared that the weekly visits to his chiropractor provided only brief respite before the pain would once again set in.

Mitch was a challenging case – his lower back muscles were overactive and his deep core muscles and gluteal (buttock) muscles were under-active, and it took us some time to reverse this. We also needed to strengthen Mitch’s upper back and neck, and improve his shoulder mobility. All of this needed to be done without causing his hyperactive lower-back muscles to spasm – no easy task.

However, in under a month Mitch was able to better activate his core muscles as well as his gluteals, which allowed his lower-back muscles to relax. Our work on his upper back and neck also paid off as Mitch's neck began to release the tension it had been holding due to his poor movement patterns.

Mitch is now the proud owner of a strong, healthy physique.

He no longer has lower back pain.

He hasn’t been to his chiropractor in over nine months.

His posture has improved dramatically (he’s nearly 5cm taller!).

And he now freely performs exercises that he previously avoided due to the pain they triggered.

Mitch also once told Stu that he ‘genetically just had no butt muscles’. He’s now developed a proper set of glutes that are in proportion to the rest of his body.

What The Squat Mechanic Approach achieved for Mitch isn’t magic – it’s the result of the unique blend of posture, movement quality and strength that we focus on with all our clients.

As with Mitch, Stu analyses your current movement patterns and tailors all sessions to best achieve your long-term fitness and physique goals.
