Walk an hour.
Sit through a film.
Carry the shopping.

Phase 5 opens on real-life tolerance — the three things people actually want back.

Standing tolerance is trainable

How long you can stand or walk before symptoms start is a number that responds to training. Measure it weekly.

Walking is treatment

Regular walking improves outcomes in back and leg pain and is one of the few things that helps both nerve blood flow and confidence.

Confidence is part of the cure

Graded, successful movement is what turns the alarm down. Every session that goes well is part of the treatment.

Round 2own it — beat Round 1 by quality

10:00C1 → C2

Each couplet: 60 s scored → the loading set → 10 s to move on. Done at 12:00.

How to run it

  1. Walking distance and sitting time are the two numbers that matter. Track both weekly.
  2. Impact last, and only on a leg that passes the strength tests.
  3. Any return of pain travelling below the knee: drop back one phase and hold.
  4. Keep two sessions a week for life. Recurrence is common and preventable.
