Why “Getting Older” Isn’t What’s Hurting You

Let’s get one thing straight: your back didn’t go out because of your birthday.
That shoulder pain when you reach for your seatbelt? The creaky knees climbing the stairs? The nagging ache in your hips after a walk? Not “just part of getting older.”
It’s muscle atrophy. And it’s fixable.

💡 The Real Cause of Most Chronic Pain Isn’t Age—It’s Instability

When we’re younger, our deep stabilizing muscles (think core, glutes, hip flexors) do their job without us thinking about it. But with age, stress, and sitting 90% of the day, those muscles weaken. And when the muscles responsible for supporting the spine, pelvis, and joints fade into the background, guess what steps in to help? Pain.

Your body starts compensating. Other muscles overwork. Alignment gets messy. And pain becomes your new roommate.

😬 The Vicious Cycle of Atrophy

Here’s how it usually goes:

1. You feel pain.
2. You move less to avoid it.
3. Your muscles weaken more.
4. You feel more pain.
5. You reach for Advil. Then Aleve. Then “just one” muscle relaxer.
6. Rinse. Repeat.

And nowhere in this cycle is the actual problem being solved.

🧠 The Smart Way to Break the Pain Cycle

It’s not stretching. Even though that probably feels amaaazing in the short term, it doesn’t do a whole lot in the long term.

It’s retraining your core and stabilizers to do their job again. That’s why functional strength training is so effective—and why our Emsculpt NEO Function Setting is such a game-changer.

While most devices focus on aesthetics, the Function protocol was designed to rebuild foundational strength using electromagnetic stimulation to contract your muscles in ways your body forgot how to.

You’re not “getting old.”
Your body just wants to move again like it used to.

🔥 What Happens When You Rebuild Strength

• Sciatica fades
• Lower back pain lightens
• Balance improves
• You sleep better
• You stop avoiding movement (and life)

We’ve seen it happen hundreds of times—and we’d love to help you get there.

✅ The Bottom Line

You don’t need another painkiller.
You need a stronger foundation.
