To achieve long-term prevention, you need a long-term plan.  Not a short-term fix.

Find out why your lower back pain/ sciatica won’t go away.

Active X Backs

The medical and physical therapy industries spend huge amounts of money on relieving lower back pain.  But 60% of first time lower back pain sufferers will have another episode within a year.  And 49.1% of people will have an episode of lower back pain in any given year, with 23% of adults being persistent sufferers.

As a result, lower back pain is the world’s leading cause of disability.  And has been for over 30 years.

With all this effort (and your money) going into relieving lower back pain, hardly any goes into addressing the causes. 

“Prevention” and “Relief” have different definitions.  And they are different processes. 

All that money spent on Relief doesn’t help a bit with long-term Prevention.

We specialise in the online and in-person delivery of programs providing rapid relief AND long-term prevention of lower back pain and sciatica.

To achieve long-term prevention, you need a long-term plan.  Not a short-term fix.
