Back Pain Success: Andrew

“I found Brian after hearing that Stuart McGill (who I had followed for years) had certified practitioners and one in Brisbane.

I’d had 20+ years of recurring and worsening lower back issues and tried every type of treatment without lasting results (physio, chiro, needling, psychology etc).  I had pretty much stopped any sort of training out of fear of flareups.  I felt like my issues were different from those fortunate people who had found solutions and almost accepted that I would never resolve them.

However I was hopeful with Brian due to his association McGill and great reviews. I was comforted in my first session as Brian identified what seemed to be a fairly obvious deficiency pattern that he was confident in addressing.

Over the next few months I followed Brian’s careful and methodical approach with his patient and calm guidance.  It took discipline to take small steps and always focus on technique with steady rather than rapid progression.

It’s a commitment of time and money and you have to be dedicated to get results, but in the end it works.  For the first time since I can remember I no longer have regular niggles and flareups.  I feel strong and stable and I can see the day soon where I will be fully training in the gym again with confidence.  Already my squats and RDLs feel great, two exercises I couldn’t imagine doing a six months ago.

I’m not worried about not being able to pick up my kids any more, or getting out of shape because I can’t stay fit long enough to exercise.  I’m loving being back at the gym again.  

Thanks for helping me Brian.”
