Question 2

Accepted Answer

No.

Question 3

How severe of low back pain cases have you worked with?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

I'm experiencing back pain for the first time, ever. Will you work with me?

Accepted Answer

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.
