State champion. Doctor. A familiar face at Strive — and it's time you got to know him.
If you've been a patient at Strive Integrative Health, there's a good chance you've already been in great hands with Dr. Jacob Poches, D.C. Today we're shining a spotlight on the man behind the adjustments.
Dr. Jacob grew up in Portage, WI, where he found his passion in wrestling — a sport that taught him that hard work and discipline lead to results. That mindset carried him all the way to a Wisconsin State Wrestling Title his senior year of high school.
He went on to earn his biology degree at UW-La Crosse before completing his Doctorate of Chiropractic at Palmer College of Chiropractic — graduating Cum Laude. During school he served as a teaching assistant for gross anatomy and spinal anatomy labs, and completed a rehabilitation internship that deepened his understanding of human movement and function.
That background shows in the way he works. Dr. Jacob takes a whole-person, movement-focused approach to care — addressing how the body moves and functions, not just where it hurts.
Outside the office you'll find him lifting weights, running, hunting, or cheering on the Packers and Bucks.
We're grateful every day to have Dr. Jacob as part of the Strive team. If you haven't had a chance to work with him yet, we'd love to change that.
If you’re dealing with degenerative disc disease, the hip flexor stretch is one of the most effective ways to reduce tension and improve how your low back moves 🙌
To do it, start in a kneeling position on a pillow or yoga mat with one foot in front of you. From there, the key isn’t just leaning forward, it’s focusing on posture and control 💡
Squeeze your glutes to tuck your pelvis slightly, which helps you avoid arching your lower back.
You should feel a deep stretch through the front of the hip and into the quad on the kneeling side.
Hold for about 30 seconds per side, repeating 2–3 times daily to help improve mobility and reduce tension through the hips and low back.

If you're a Strive patient, you already know Dr. Erik Steine, D.C. is something special. Today we're giving him the spotlight he deserves.
Dr. Erik grew up in Black River Falls, WI and went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education at Winona State University in Minnesota, where he also competed as a collegiate athlete. It was during that time navigating his own injuries firsthand that his passion for functional movement and injury prevention really took root.
He completed his Doctorate of Chiropractic at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Port Orange, FL, then went on to practice in San Francisco and Philadelphia including working with a variety of professional athletes along the way. That's the kind of experience and perspective he brings to every patient at Strive.
His approach is rooted in how the body actually moves not just treating symptoms, but understanding the mechanics behind them so patients can feel better and stay that way.
Outside the office, Dr. Erik is into sports, hunting, traveling, and spending time with friends and family.
Four years in and our patients still can't say enough great things about him. We feel the same way. Thank you for everything you bring to this team, Dr. Erik!
If you’re dealing with degenerative disc disease, the right stretches can help reduce tension, improve mobility, and support your lower back 🙌
One of the most effective movements we recommend is the figure 4 (piriformis) stretch. It helps target the hip and glute muscles, which often play a big role in low back tightness and discomfort 💡
You can do this stretch using a chair, couch, or bed. Cross one leg over the other, sit tall, and gently lean forward until you feel a stretch through the hip and glute area. Keeping good posture is key to getting the full benefit.
We typically recommend holding for 20–30 seconds, repeating both sides, and performing it consistently each day for best results.
