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.

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.

Great program. I had become discouraged about my back pain. My MRI diagnosis contained the words "severe" over and over again. I did not want to try surgery, and the last time I had a joint injection they hit a nerve because the space had grown too narrow. By connecting to my "anchors" as per this program, I immediately felt relief. It was empowering to affect the change myself. I continue to make the time each day and I'm stronger, more mobile and I'm not done. I also love that he has you "do less" when you need to! Less is still a step forward toward core strength, balance, and mobility.

I love this program I love this program! It’s well designed to help me follow the lessons everyday, which made it easier for me to commit to the exercise consistently at my own pace. I also learned a lot from their weekly live lessons & Q&A. I feel so much more in control of my back pain, both physically and mentally. So glad I found this program!

Legit medical… Not only is it a legit medical practice, not a money grab, the guidance is top notch. I’ve been in PT several times in the last three years, I do not know WHY face-to-face PT is never able to give practical, actual real guidance on posture, how to sit, etc. , this program has taught me how to sit for 2 hrs driving with no sciatic pain. Period. It is top notch, real Physical Therapy.
