Pain-Free Walking Calendar

An 8-week walking program designed for spinal stenosis sufferers. Track progress, celebrate wins, and build resiliency.
  • Complete 8-Week Structure: A daily tracking system designed specifically for spinal stenosis patients, so you never lose track of your progress.
  • Pain Pattern Recognition: Track pain before, during, and after walks to identify what's working and make informed adjustments.
  • Flexion Break Tracking: Monitor how often you need to rest and watch that number decrease as your nerve tolerance improves.
  • Weekly Review & Reflection: Built-in reflection pages help you celebrate wins, identify challenges, and plan adjustments.
  • Progress Checkpoints: Test days at weeks 1, 4, and 8 show measurable improvement in walking distance and symptom onset.

Here's how this PDF has helped my clients:

  • Simple Daily Tracking: Quick fields for date, minutes walked, pain levels, flexion breaks, and personal wins - takes less than 2 minutes to complete.
  • Pain Scale Guidance: Clear 0-10 pain scale instructions help you understand when to keep walking (1-2 increase) versus when to rest (3+ increase).
  • Printable Format: Designed to be printed and written on by hand for easy daily use without needing your phone or computer.
  • Progress Visualization: Week-over-week comparisons show improvements in average pain, walking duration, and break frequency.
  • eBook Companion: Designed to work alongside the Pain-Free Walking eBook for a complete spinal stenosis walking recovery system.
  • Motivational Elements: Daily "Today's Win" tracking and inspirational closing page keep you focused on progress, not perfection.

Patient Testimonials

Michael has been a vital partner to help me overcome injuries and identify areas of weakness. He constantly assesses and adapts interventions to encourage recovery. The stretch, glide, manipulate, and dry needling techniques have helped keep me active.

My time with Dr Derry was worth every penny.  After suffering with pain from a car accident almost 4 years ago Physical Therapy was the key to increasing my strength and decreasing my pain.  Dr Derry worked with my crazy working mom schedule and traveled to both my home and place of business.  I highly recommend Dr Derry.

-Jill M.

Dr. Derry was extremely helpful with developing my in-home program.  My back is much better than it was a couple of weeks ago. He gets to know what your goals are, then works on a individual plan with you.  Very good experience!

Why Most Spinal Stenosis Patients Give Up on Walking

If you have spinal stenosis, walking can feel like a losing battle. Pain forces you to stop, you rest, the pain goes away, you start again - and the cycle repeats.
