Back Pain Success: Michelle

“After injuring my lower back in November 2023 I was in acute pain, so I followed the usual advice when this happens and took some painkillers while spending a lot of time flat on my back.

I couldn’t get back up without severe pain.

The doctor diagnosed a disc injury, told me to rest and that it would be painful for a few months.

Fast forward and the acute pain had subsided and I did lots of physio, but I still couldn’t do anything but walk. This wasn’t going to work for me as I like to be active.

I did some research and found a podcast and book on Professor Stuart McGill’s work with back pain. From this I realised I needed to work on my problem but I couldn’t manage it on my own.

I found Brian because he had completed Prof. McGill’s courses and was listed as a qualified practitioner on the BackFitPro website.

The programme I completed with Brian has been the best time and money I have invested in my health. Brian gives you the tools and knowledge to rehab your injury, while strengthening your back and core so that you can maintain your gains.

The process is incremental and it all depends upon you doing the work. What you put into it, you will get back out with a pain-free lifestyle.

My injury has improved so much after 3 months with Brian that I am back in the gym and back surfing again.

I cannot praise Brian enough for teaching me how to maintain my health and keep my back pain-free.”
