Her Goal

Daphne wanted one thing: to get rid of her back pain. Even small daily activities caused discomfort, and by the end of each day she often struggled with heavy pain.

Starting Point

She experienced strong lower-back pain after minimal physical effort. This made daily life unpredictable and uncomfortable, and she felt limited in what she could do without triggering the pain.

Our Approach

We started by building awareness, identifying every trigger and mapping her pain through a daily pain log and activity diary. Daphne also learned how to keep her lumbar spine neutral during movement, reducing unnecessary strain.

She performed her activation and movement routines multiple times per day, and this consistent self-care accelerated her progress enormously.

The Process

Daphne made progress quickly. Her commitment was exceptional, she tracked her pain daily, executed her routines every day, and showed up ready to learn. This steady consistency is what drove her transformation.

The Result

Her primary goal was achieved: she is nearly pain-free. She recently spent six weeks abroad and only experienced mild pain once — a helpful reminder to stay aware and apply her routines.

Now, we're building a strong foundational system so she can take on more activities pain-free and with confidence.

Next Step

Daphne now trains once per week with us and performs two strength workouts independently to keep progressing.

Daphne’s Words

I first came to Teun because of back pain from a herniated disk, and since training with him my pain has decreased drastically. He not only helped me strengthen my body, but also taught me how to recognize and manage pain so I can prevent it in the future.

Teun’s gentle and supportive approach has also improved my daily life in ways I didn’t expect—from eating more regularly to waking up without snoozing. He always shares up-to-date knowledge and resources, which makes the guidance even more valuable.

What I value most is how he keeps the training focused on my personal goals. Working step by step made progress clear and sustainable, without ever feeling overwhelming. I feel stronger, more aware, and better in my daily life, and I truly cannot recommend Teun enough.
