Hey, I’m Michael Dilworth—a personal trainer who’s been through two spinal fusions and turned my struggle into a solution. If you’re tired of pain, fear of re-injury, or feeling stuck in “rehab mode,” this program is your roadmap to lasting strength and freedom.

​

Motto: Helping make your last fusion your final one!

​

How It Works: A Science-Backed, Fusion-Safe System

1️⃣ Spine Fitness Assessment 🔍

• Start with a full-body movement analysis to pinpoint your unique weaknesses (tight hips? Weak core? Poor walking mechanics?).

• No guesswork—just a clear plan tailored to your body’s needs.

2️⃣ Smart, Functional Training 🏋️♂️

• Corrective exercises to fix imbalances (so your spine isn’t overworked).

• Master the basics: Learn to walk, squat, and hip hinge with perfect form—because daily movements shouldn’t hurt.

• Progressive strength work to rebuild resilience (without risking your fusion).

3️⃣ Nutrition for Healing & Weight Control 🥑

• Anti-inflammatory meal strategies to reduce swelling and shed excess weight (gentle on joints, powerful for recovery).

4️⃣ Lifestyle Shifts for Long-Term Results 🛌

• Ergonomics, stress management, and habits that protect your spine outside the gym.​

​

Who Thrives Here?

✔️ Post-fusion patients ready to move beyond “just surviving.”
✔️ Chronic pain warriors tired of bandaids (meds, injections) and hungry for real solutions.
✔️ Anyone determined to avoid another surgery and take control of their health.

​

Why This Works

This isn’t generic “back pain advice.” It’s a proven framework combining:

• My lived experience (I’ve walked this path).

• Corrective exercise science (fix the root cause, not just symptoms).

• Functional fitness (train for real life, not just the gym).​
