I Didn’t Break My Back in One Moment — It Was Years in the Making

I didn’t injure my back in one big moment — though I thought I did at the time. It turns out, it was the result of years of small habits stacking up.

The Hidden Habits That Built My Injury

Sitting or standing too long.
Not resting enough between heavy gym sessions.
Slouching on the sofa at night.
Pushing through stiffness, day after day.
Doing too much, too soon. Ignoring what my body was telling me.
It all added up — slowly, quietly, insidiously.

It Wasn’t the Workout — It Was Everything Before It

I wasn’t reckless. I always warmed up.
I trained hard. I followed programs.
But the problem wasn’t just the workout — it was everything that came before it.

From Stillness to Full Throttle

Sometimes I’d jump straight out of bed and into a heavy workout — before my spinal discs had even decompressed again from the night before.
Other days, I’d sit for hours all morning, barely moving — and then blast into a full-on lunchbreak workout.
From total stillness to full throttle and back again. Crazy stuff looking back on it now.
These poor patterns and daily habits wrecked my back over time.
I didn’t realise it then, but I was setting myself up for injury every single day.

The Microwave Moment

One day, I bent down to reposition the microwave — just moving it down the counter — and everything seized.
I couldn’t stand up straight. Couldn’t sit. Couldn’t think straight.
At the time, I blamed the microwave lift.
But now I know — the damage was already done.
Years of strain had quietly built up — without me realising.
The microwave lift just pushed it over the edge.

What It Really Was: Disc Creep

Disc creep is when your spinal discs slowly lose resilience from repeated stress — and eventually something small becomes the final straw.
Years of disc micro-damage and poor spinal hygiene — finally catching up.

What Didn’t Work — and What Finally Did

I tried all the usual stuff: physios, stretches, gadgets, expensive chairs.
Some helped. Most didn’t.
What I really needed was a plan — a system I could trust.
