The Back Pain Protocol
Six weeks of the practice from the Back Pain Report, sequenced, with Dr. Kyle Worell.
- Six weeks
- Self-guided
- Daily walk + three strength days
- Weekly written guide
Who it’s for
- You have read the Back Pain Report and want the sequence
- Your back keeps flaring and settling and flaring again
- You want a plan you can run at home, in your own week
- You are not in acute distress and have no red-flag symptoms
- You would rather build capacity than keep chasing relief
What you’ll learn
- Why load, not damage, explains most recurring back pain
- The daily walk as a baseline rather than as exercise
- Five movement patterns and how to progress each one honestly
- How to break up sitting without rearranging your life
- What to keep doing through a flare, and what to stop
- When a symptom means a clinician instead of a progression

Week 3
Add load

Meet Dr.
Dr. Kyle Worell, DC, PSP, DipACLM
Founder, The Athletic Life
Kyle has spent twenty-five years in musculoskeletal, spine, sports rehabilitation and lifestyle medicine, working with athletes, performers and active patients who want to keep going.
This is the sequence he gives a patient who does not need hands-on care yet, the floor that survives a bad week, built out over six weeks instead of handed over all at once.
Full profile →Questions
- How is this different from the Back Pain Report?
- The report is free and explains what is going on. The protocol is the six-week sequence built on it, the weekly progression, the record, and the flare guidance.
- Is this treatment?
- No. It is education and a structured practice. Individual care happens in a virtual consult, which is a separate service delivered by MOOV. Health.
- Do I need equipment?
- No. Bodyweight and somewhere to walk is enough for the whole six weeks.
- What if I flare?
- Week five is entirely about that, and the guidance appears earlier too. If a symptom is on the red-flag list, the protocol tells you to stop and get seen.
- Is this included with AMP’D membership?
- No. The protocol is standalone. AMP’D Lifestyle is a separate ongoing membership.
The Back Pain Protocol is an educational movement program. It does not examine you, diagnose you, or replace individual care. If you have severe or worsening pain, numbness or weakness travelling below the knee, a recent injury or surgery, or any change in bladder or bowel control, stop and see a clinician today.
