This workshop is for anyone who wants to reduce, relieve, eliminate low back and hip pain and restore comfortable, functional movement in daily life.
Low back and hip pain is a debilitating silent epidemic that a disproportionate amount of people suffer with in modern Western society. Often, people have “tried everything” in vain and can find temporary relief with certain treatments but it always comes back.
This type of pain significantly limits quality of life making certain activities difficult to impossible, interfering with mobility, the ability to be active, the ability to improve fitness and ultimately sometimes even contributing to depression and other injuries as the body compensates for the pain.
Low back and hip pain is usually not just one thing, and often on a spectrum of physical dysfunction. Discover a synergistic gentle approach which strengthens and mobilizes your muscles in a way that stabilizes and protects, allowing you to move pain free -- or at minimum, greatly reduce pain to where it no longer bothers you. Discover what else contributes to pain and inflammation and how to maintain your ability to move life long.
As a bonus, you’ll find yourself sleeping better, moving better, feeling stronger, with better posture and much more energy through the day when it is not being drained by your pain.
