About Us
ATHLETIC SPINE was founded by Benjamin Lustig out of personal experience and a need to help athletes afflicted with back pain return to training and sport.
Benjamin’s passion for working with back pained patients and athletes started in 2010, experiencing his own debilitating lower back pain during a heavy lifting competition.
He went from therapist to specialist trying to get answers, guidance and treatment without success. The lowest point was when a specialist said “you’ll never play sport again”.
This was the moment everything changed.
Not believing this to be true, Ben took matters into his own hands, finally finding practitioners and resources that helped him understand his pain and get back to sport and doing the things he loved.
Benjamin’s story is one of many athletes.
Athletic Spine is the culmination of thousands of practice hours, research and professional development all over the world and a genuine drive to help others. So that they never have the experience he had, all those years ago.
