I've specialized in treating wildly complex back pain and injury cases for the past 10 years. The majority of those who I have helped had many years of pain and frustrating experiences with multiple clinicians. For most the medical system failed and gave up on them, but they didn't give up on themselves, which is why they got better -- they were determined! The testimonies speak for themselves! I am confident in my ability to provide you the best care possible for your situation. Although it is important to understand that back pain and injury are incredibly individual and multifaceted, and recovery cannot be guaranteed.

I carefully select each student I work with. If you're in the "pain game" for the first time, here's the steps I would like you to take before reaching out to schedule an assessment. First, see your doctor. Get it documented in your medical records that you have low back pain. Second, I strongly recommend reading Back Mechanic by Stuart McGill, twice through! Perform the self-assessments and work through all the corrective exercise strategies outlined in the chapters. Most people with low back pain are able to resolve their symptoms simply by reading Back Mechanic. On a side note, to work with me you will be required to read this book anyways, so why not get a heads start? Only after you've gone through this process, and met with your doctor to discuss your options, would I consider accepting you as a student.

No. However, it would be an advantage to you if you included your doctor in your decision process. It is not required, but please visit your doctor before we meet. Share with them the Back Mechanic book, as well as our email correspondences, and intake forms. Be transparent with your intentions and let them know that this is the course of action you want to take. Also inform your doctor that I will comprise a full detailed report reviewing the examination findings and outlining your treatment plan for them to have on file.

Absolutely. I encourage you bring with you the person who will be providing you the moral support to get through this journey.

No. All assessments must be carried out in-person. I am open to working with students remotely after they've completed the McGill Method Low Back Pain Assessment and post-assessment follow-up session.

No, however, the more information we have the better.

I will ask that you temporarily stop engaging in any therapeutic approach that is deemed contradictory to the results of the assessment.
