Breaking ground on the mind body connection.

Posted on October 25, 2019 by William Richards

I’m just going to dive head first into this one. I’ve mentioned this idea of the mind and its part in the chronic pains we face from day to day. In this case I am speaking specifically about the back. There is this theory (with practical clinical trials to support the findings) that a man […]

People beating back pain on their own!

"Again amazing video, I save all your emails in a folder! Seriously you are one of the very few people who get the cause of back pain for most of us with sedentary lifestyles!

Since following your guide, working with a good physio and strengthening my core, my pain has greatly reduced after 1.5 years of suffering."
-Mathew M.

"I absolutely love your website and videos. I have McGill’s books and have read innumerable online articles re back pain, but your descriptions, explanations and videos really hit it home with me. Thanks to you, I am on the road to healing after 2+ years of lower back pain. Thank you for such informative articles; not too long or overly complex and not too simplified either. Just right!"

"The first time I mashed the QL muscles with a field hockey ball and followed it up with the stretch in the door frame, it was like oiling a creaky door– it was almost instant relief. Since then, over the past month, I have continued to do the exercises and stretches on your site and they have helped so much. The other pose I do to “unstick” my back is the “happy baby” yoga stretch…that one in combination with these QL stretches have pretty much solved the back issues that have plagued me for years. So, thank you so much for this post."

After being diagnosed with a ruptured disc, I was told what most people are told — manage it, avoid certain movements, and accept that this might just be life now.

I refused to settle for that.

Over the next several years, I tested, refined, and rebuilt my body from the ground up — learning what actually calms a sensitive spine, what rebuilds strength safely, and what allows you to move without fear.

What I discovered changed everything.

Chronic back pain isn’t just about a disc.
It’s about how your nervous system, muscles, and movement patterns are interacting.

Today, I combine over a decade of experience in the health and fitness industry with the exact framework that helped me regain control of my own back — so you don’t have to waste years guessing.

If you’re tired of managing pain and ready to rebuild confidence, strength, and freedom in your body…

I’ll show you how.
