If your back pain keeps coming back, it’s not because you’re broken

Most men with recurring back pain aren’t lacking motivation or toughness. You’ve just been given short-term fixes – stretches, adjustments, or advice that doesn’t stick. I believe this is because most therapists havent been through their own back pain journey and have not developed proven long term systems.

Without a clear plan to rebuild strength, movement, and confidence in your body, the pain fades as you rest and take it easy… then comes back again when you try to move like you used to. Each time, trust in the body drops a little more and you might find yourself resigning to “thats just the way life is” or “This is what getting old feels like”.

Men need systems, progressions and standards and this is what I provide.

This work is for men who are tired of guessing – and ready to rebuild, thoroughly.

A clear system to rebuild your back – not endless appointments

I use a coaching-led approach that combines hands-on osteopathy (in clinic) with strength training, movement work, and targeted mobility – so you get a plan you can actually follow.

Coaching-led plan

Clear steps, progressions, and accountability – so you know exactly what to do between sessions.

Osteopathy (in-clinic)

Hands-on assessment and treatment when needed – to reduce irritation and restore movement.

Strength training

Build capacity through progressive strength – the most reliable long-term strategy for recurring back pain.

Yoga-informed mobility

Mobility, control, and breath-led movement to keep your back resilient, supple, and confident.

This is for you if:

Your back pain keeps returning, even after treatment.

You want a proven system from a coach that has tonnes of results.

You’re ready to rebuild confidence in your body again.

I started visiting Oak Osteopathy because of a recurring lower back pain that was really affecting my quality of life. Working with Luke has made a huge difference. Not only did he help me strengthen my back, but my whole body feels stronger and more mobile thanks to his guidance.

Luke’s knowledge is incredible; he introduced me to new exercises that I’ve now added to my gym routine, and they’ve made such a positive impact. On top of that, he’s genuinely one of the most down-to-earth person you’ll meet. It’s easy to chat with him about anything, which makes every session enjoyable.

I couldn’t recommend Luke highly enough. If you’re dealing with pain or just want to improve your overall movement and wellbeing, he’s definitely the person to go to.

What can I say the man is a genius, I literally couldn’t walk when i first went to Luke.

The pain was very bad and even after the first session I had relief, I was thinking I would be months in recovery but he had me upright and back working in no time. Can’t recommend him enough.

Very pleasant and very professional. Pain was a 10 when I went first and now I am lifting weights with no pain. Best in the business.

I went to Luke back at the end of 2024 with extreme lower back pain and ridiculous lack of mobility in that region.

I did a course of back rehabilitation sessions with Luke over the last few months and it has transformed my life. I was taught how to manage myself in the gym and strengthen the weak areas along with building mobility at the same time.

It’s been absolutely game changing to say the very least. Luke is an absolute gent to top it off and i thoroughly enjoyed the sessions. 💪💪💪

Two ways to work with me

In-clinic coaching (Cork)

Hands-on assessment combined with a clear strength and movement plan — so you know exactly what to do between sessions and why.

Best if you want in-person guidance, manual support when needed, and a structured plan you can follow.

In-clinic osteopathy sessions are commonly eligible for health insurance reimbursement (policy dependent). Receipts provided.

Online back pain coaching

A structured coaching programme you can follow from anywhere — with guidance, progression, and accountability.

Ideal if you want flexibility, don’t live locally, or prefer to work remotely.

I don’t just talk about movement.

I live it

Most back pain advice is given by people who don’t train, don’t load, and don’t understand what it feels like to rebuild a body over time.

I’m a strength & conditioning coach, a yoga teacher, and an osteopath in clinic. Everything I teach is rooted in real movement – strength, control, mobility, and resilience.

The goal isn’t “pain-free.” It’s capable.
