Does this sounds like you?

  • Spent countless hours and dollars to get back pain relief?

    You have tried Chiro, Massage, Acupuncture, Reiki, Core-Workout, and nothing is working. It all feels nothing can help you and you're convinced you might actually live with the back pain for the rest of your life.

  • You are scared of moving because you might hurt your back gain?

    You still remember the time you hurt your back. You're struggling to pick up your child or even bend over and pick up a pen from the floor. Your body tensed up and you feel fear before you move.

  • I have seen MRI and it looks bad. My doctor told me I need a surgery.

    You have seen your back through the MRI, and your doctor told you need surgery that MIGHT help to relieve pain. You have been avoiding it but recently started thinking about it, then you're in the right place!

  • Move Shoulder Pain-Free!

Social proof: testimonials

“Last time I couldn't get an appointment with the chiropractor. So I had to wait until there was a cancellation. So that prolonged my pain. So knowing now that I want to stop it happening in the future, that's the biggest thing, rather than having to go through the pain and then get someone to fix it for me, I'm in control of making sure I look after my body through mindful movement and prevent it happening again. That's the biggest thing.”

Middle School Principal

Meredith Lawson

“I had two disc bulges protruding from L4 to L5, and it was incredibly painful. It took me 15mins to get myself out of bed. I just follow the video course and my back pain was improved by 80% and I was actually able to move! I made these my part of daily exercises. After 4 weeks, my back pain was completely gone. ”

Rünno Allikivie

“This is a really good way to find the root cause of pain. Over the years of playing the violin, my back and shoulder have been very stiff and painful. I had to take painkillers occasionally to just play the violin and get massages every week. After going through the course, my back and shoulder pain and stiffness have improved dramatically. Now I can manage my own body without relying on someone else and painkillers. Thank you!”

“This course taught me how to fix chronic back pain that I’ve never thought was possible. This helped me get a good career in becoming the best rugby player I can be. Now I’m a professional rugby player for Mitsubishi Dynaboars in Japan. I recommend this 100% to be working with to fix and manage your chronic back pain by yourself.”

Aukuso Schwenke

“I am a wheelchair athlete. Being in a wheelchair is tough on my back. Since I started taking this course, my back pain disappeared from day 1. My personal best improved significantly and I’m ranked within the Top 10 in the world. Even with hard training and multiple competitions, I have been keeping myself in the best condition and injury-free. I am so grateful! ”

Atsuro Kobata

“It has been really helpful and getting results fast and accessible and effective without copious amounts of work. Debatably, just as or if not more, more helpful than going to see someone in person. I got the results I wanted fast, which is that's what you want when you're out and you can't play. This course definitely helped me and my rugby career. You've got to try this. So someone was actually really needing something. I'd be like, hey man! you've got to try this!.”
