The best thing I did for my sciatica It has been on my mind to write a review for Core Balance Training for awhile now. I took the class last April through June because was so desperate for relief of my sciatica which I had been dealing with for well over a year and a half. I was begging my husband to let me get surgery, but because his mom had such a bad experience, he was willing to let me try anything short of surgery. I was taking NSAIDSs daily and tried prednisone several times. I had 2 bouts of PT and cortisone shots and was looking up exercises and help on the internet everyday. Sometimes I would get better for a little while, only to re-aggraavate it within a few weeks. At my worst, I couldn't walk more than 5 steps without sitting, couldn't stand for more than a minute, and could not go out to do my shopping, let alone play my favorite sport pickleball. One day I was scrolling Instagram feeling very depressed. I came across Core Balance Training and figured why not give it a try? I found Dr. Peebles videos so helpful. He really explained things in a way that made me finally do many of the exercises I had tried in the past correctly. Instead of engaging my legs, I learned to properly engage my core. I learned to lift things properly and even sit, stand, and walk properly. It has become part of my everyday movement. To this day, I begin my day with my "back exercises," a 15-20 minute routine in which I put my favorite exercises from this program together. I am happy to say I have been pain free since last August and I never plan to go back, now that I have these tools and wisdom. I even play pickleball with my all at least 4 tines a week. Every time I see someone who struggles with back issues, I tell them CBT was a life saver and the best thing I ever did for my back.

Excellent program Excellent program! If your looking to be pain free from low back pain or SI Joint pain this is the program for you. Dr. Ryan teaches how to use your core as your center of power while having focused breathing. Incredibly happy to be on a path of healthy movement from Core Balance Training.

Worth the money while I could use the program The exercises in this program were well worth the money I spent for 3 months of the program. The pain in my back was greatly improved. The sad thing was that, once the three months were up, the videos were no longer available to view at will unless i paid a significant amount for another three months membership. Since I'm in my 70s, I couldn't recall the exercises in order to keep doing them. Back pain returned, but not as bad.

This helps so much more than back pain! I didn't have back pain but I have Diastasis Recti. I took this course to help avoid surgery and although I don't know if it fixed everything perfectly, I am so much more functional. My core is functioning how it should now and I had no idea how bad it was before I learned how breath, walk, and stand correctly again. It's been at least 8 years since I could do those things correctly. This program has been truly life changing and I feel like everyone should do it! It's affected every part of my life for the better.

The program is wonderful The program is wonderful; the structure is very helpful and easy to follow. My back pain has subsided substantially in just 11 weeks. More importantly I recognize the movements that are “dangerous” and am starting to know how to avoid them, what positions to put my body in, and how to engage in daily movements. I am excited about my physical future and this program is the primary reason. I went from a life of constant fear that my back might give out at anytime to an understanding that my back health belongs to me.
