Age-related disc wear and tear
"Before Relief4Life, my back pain was unbearable. I avoided activities because I knew they would cause pain or discomfort, leading to a boring and insecure life.
For the past 12 years, I tried epidurals with cortisone, hip shots, multiple MRIs, physical therapy, yoga, and joining gyms, but nothing provided lasting relief.
Doctors suggested fusing the bottom three discs if my pain continued, as they were deteriorated. I saw Relief4Life as a last shot before surgery.
After 8 sessions of Relief4Life, I've seen a tremendous difference. Small things like getting out of the car and standing up feel different. I wake up feeling refreshed, sleep better, and walk taller.
The quick results have kept me motivated. I still have occasional pain, but I now know how to manage it with stretching and adjusting my posture.
I'm happier, my mood has changed, and I feel hopeful about turning my condition around. Seeing others' progress motivates me to continue improving and feeling better."

"It feels like someone got in there and oiled all my joints and they’re moving easily and I have absolutely no pain now. It’s unbelievable. It’s amazing!
The doctor reported that the bone density in my spine is thicker – bigger – and I no longer have osteoporosis in my spine, now it’s osteopenia, which is better bone density... You really have to try this program."

"I had to give up golf about 12-13 years ago due to severe back pain. Physical therapy for 6-12 weeks didn't help much. Back pain disrupted my sleep and daily activities, making it difficult to do routine tasks. I even missed work on several occasions.
The program focused on strengthening abdominal, leg, and gluteal muscles to support my back and reduce pressure on my vertebrae.
After a couple of months, my sleep improved, pain decreased, and I could stand for hours without discomfort. Six weeks ago, I decided to try golf again. I've played about 10 times since then and am virtually pain-free.
My golf game has improved; I can drive the ball further and strike it better than I did 20 years ago.
Regardless of back pain, strengthening core muscles benefits golfers, tennis players, and anyone in middle age experiencing aches and pains.
I highly recommend Relief4Life for anyone wanting to stay active and pain-free in their favorite sports."
"25 years ago, I felt a sharp pain in my lower back, diagnosed as a herniated disc between L-5 and L-6. Medication and physical therapy helped initially. About 10 years later, intense pain returned, and an MRI showed the disc was obliterated with nerve impingement. I had to be extremely careful with my back, avoiding lifting, golf, and even standing for long periods.
Cortisone injections provided temporary relief, but they had dangerous side effects.
In 2008, I met Ian Hart at EarthFIT. Despite my skepticism, I started the Back Pain Relief4Life program.
Within a few weeks, I noticed improvement. Over four years, the program significantly reduced my back pain and improved my quality of life.
I can now golf, play tennis, garden, remodel homes, and sleep much better. My doctor remarked that I'm in better shape than most 66-year-olds.
While my back pain hasn't completely disappeared, the improvement has been significant. Thank you, Back Pain Relief4Life!"

"Before Relief4Life, I had almost daily back pain from some discs that have degenerated in my lower back and I started coming to Relief4Life and doing a series of exercises here 2-3 days a week for approximately 3 months, and then I began to do them at home and it has given me excellent relief. I would go for long periods of time with absolutely no pain with Relief4Life program in the exercises that I had.
And I must say I was skeptical at first because I have had all kinds of treatments for this as most people do. The only time that I may have little regression is if I am lifting something that is too heavy and I shouldn't be doing that or pulling on some lines on our boat. And then I immediately stopped and once I was start exercising the program again. But generally I practice it 2 or 3 times a week just in general and it keeps me for the most part pain free.I cannot recommend it more highly because I have had this problem for years and I think that the Relief4life program is really excellent for anyone who has a problem and can come here."

"Before Relief4Life, my back had hurt for 45 years due to a lifetime of riding horses and taking falls. As I got older, it became impossible to do things I used to, like lifting hay bales and bags of feed. I couldn't play with my grandchildren, and as a nurse, I was taking Motrin every day. My x-rays showed severe degeneration of my lower spine, spondylosis, and end plate spondylosis.
After eight hours of Relief4Life, I can now play with my grandchildren without hurting my back. I played football with them the other day and can pick them up.
When I suture patients, I no longer have to stand and readjust my position due to back pain. This morning, I got up and wasn't stiff at all. I can pick up a 50-pound dog and put it in the bathtub for the first time in a year. Putting on my shoes without pain was a big deal for me.
I was skeptical about fitting this into my busy schedule and being motivated to show up three times a week, but it has worked out. Despite my initial fears, I feel much better at 60 years old after eight weeks. I feared I might hurt my back worse doing these exercises, but that hasn't been true. It's been worth it, even though it hasn't been easy.
I would recommend Relief4Life to my patients and friends with back pain. It's hard work, but it's so much better than chronic daily pain and taking Motrin. It's not a magic pill, but it's the right way to think about healing."
