You've done physio. Twice. The pain came back.

It's not just the pain. It's the pattern.
By now you've tried everything they told you to try.
Multiple rounds of physio.
Hours on the table.
The scan. Maybe the injection.
Pilates. Yoga. The foam roller. The standing desk.
Some of it helped for a week. None of it stuck.
So now you're in the cycle: pain, rest, feel okay, train, reaggravate, rest, repeat.
Meanwhile your back's stopping you doing the things that matter. Lifting your kid. Training the way you used to. Sleeping properly. The people around you who don't have back pain don't get it.
This isn't in your head. It's not because you're getting older. And it's not because your spine is "shot."
It's because nothing you've tried has addressed what's actually driving it.
I'm not a physio. That's the point.
I'm Matt Kaloutsis. I run Neura Rehab & Performance from inside FITAZ Gym in Kangaroo Point.
I'm a remedial therapist and exercise rehab specialist. I've spent 17 years working with chronic back pain - the cases that don't fit a six-week physio plan and don't get fixed on a massage table.
I trained directly under Professor Stuart McGill, the world's foremost researcher in low back pain. I'm certified in all three levels of his method.
I built my framework alongside Brisbane neurosurgeon Dr David Johnson, who pioneered the NeuroHab protocol after seeing too many post-surgical patients still in pain.
I've worked with the Brisbane Broncos, Brisbane Roar, and All Sports Physiotherapy clinics across Brisbane.
What I do isn't physiotherapy. It isn't personal training. It sits in the gap between them - the exact gap most chronic back pain people fall into.
Physio gets you out of acute pain. Then they discharge you. The gym tells you to "train through it" or avoid the lift entirely. Neither one builds the actual capacity your back needs to handle real life.
That's what I do. I rebuild the system from the ground up so the pain stops coming back.
The Pain-to-Strength Method
Most chronic back pain isn't a structural problem. It's a control problem.
Your spine has a deep stabilising muscle called the multifidus. It's the only muscle that controls the spine segment by segment. When you've been in pain for months, your nervous system stops firing it properly. The bigger surface muscles take over, your brain rewires the movement pattern, and the cycle locks in.
That's why scans don't show what's wrong. The disc, the joint, the nerve - they're often fine. The problem is the system has stopped controlling itself.
You can't fix a control problem with passive treatment. Massage doesn't fix it. Adjustments don't fix it. Training harder on top of broken patterns doesn't fix it.
You fix it by rebuilding the system. In order. In stages.
That's what the Pain-to-Strength Method does. Three phases.
Start Your Path To A Pain-Free Life
On Your First Call
Your Rehab
Roadmap Call
This complimentary 1-on-1 call is your first step toward freedom from pain.
During this focused conversation, we'll:
Identify the 3 key areas keeping you stuck in the pain cycle
Create a personalized movement and strength strategy
Provide immediate, actionable steps you can start today
Establish a realistic timeline for your complete recovery
This call alone delivers more clarity than months of traditional treatment.
Before You Get Started
The Comprehensive
Movement Assessment
Precision testing forms the foundation of your pain-free, stronger future.
In this detailed assessment, we'll:
Pinpoint your unique strengths and weak points through objective measurements
Identify movement imbalances and dysfunction patterns that trigger pain
Generate your personalized Strength By Numbers™ Analysis Report
Develop your data-driven, customized rehabilitation plan
Establish clear baseline measurements to track your progress
No more guessing, just clear data and direction.
After Your Assessment...
Introducing: The Pain to Strength Framework™
A 3-phase system to move from chronic pain to confident strength.
Your first 12 weeks
Phase 1 – Get Out of Pain
We restore proper movement patterns and turn the deep stabilisers back on. Pain drops because the system stops fighting itself.
13 - 28 weeks
Phase 2: Build the Foundation.
We rebuild the strength your back actually needs - core control, hip stability, posterior chain. This is where the pain stays gone.
months 7 - 12
Phase 3: Train for Real Life.
We load you up so your back can handle whatever you ask of it. Lifting your kid. Deadlifting in the gym. Weekend hikes. Long-haul flights. Real capacity for a real life.
Most clients move through this over 3months and beyond. We test it objectively the whole way using AxIT force-plate technology, so we're tracking actual strength data, not guessing.
This isn't a 12-week program with a deadline. It's a system with stages. You graduate when your back has graduated.

STILL NOT SURE?
Let us answer your questions
How can I work with Neura?
We are not about quick fixes, but nurture you and embrace the journey together.
Don’t let the timeframe put you off – a few months investment into your health with a Neura program WILL make a lifetime difference and break the infinite treatment cycle.
What is the first step to see if this is right for me?
Booking your 30min Complimentary Discovery Call. We will answer your questions and address your concerns to determine if you are a good fit. If we are confident we can help you, we will book you in for your Initial Comprehensive Assessment.
What can I expect from my Rehab Roadmap Planning Session?
At Neura we help individuals rehabilitate their injuries through movement education so they can get back to doing the things they love in life.
The first step to working with us is Creating Your Rehab Plan.
What is the cost of your program?
From $19 per day for 6 months to achieve lasting pain relief and embrace your active lifestyle
Can I receive private health rebates?
You sure can!
Once you have paid for the program, we will create a credit on your account and send an individual receipt for you to claim your rebate.
Do I have to sign up to your program to see you, can't I just come in for a casual consult?
Absolutely! We welcome you to try our services so you can experience the Neura Difference. Our programs have been specifically designed around our 10+ years of clinical experience and we have packages of our full comprehensive services to suit your needs.
We want you to feel comfortable and have the trust in our service. If you want to have a casual consultation we want you to feel welcome!
Our goal is to provide premium level Remedial Therapy and Coaching services to all our clients.
Is there a trial period where I can just see how I go?
We have a Casual Consultation available, however we have found that just ‘seeing how you go’ allows clients to opt-out when things get hard (and we’ve unfortunately seen this far too many times before). This is the primary reason why many of our clients come to us – because they haven’t yet gotten the long-term results they so desperately desire.
We totally understand you may feel a little nervous about committing to 6 months though. That’s is why we go through a 15min Complimentary in-depth followed by our Movement Assessment before you commit.
I don't live in Brisbane, can I still work with you?
Yes! We have been successfully coaching virtually for 3+ years. Our Program is exactly the same (except instead of you coming into our gym for your 1 on 1 sessions, we Zoom into your gym with you and coach you live through your headphones and phone camera). Cool right!?
