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.

Highly recommend Core Balance Training!! I highly recommend this program!! I had tried multiple physical therapists and chiropractors which either didn't help at all or didn't provide lasting relief for my back pain. This program boils down a recovery process for building balanced strength and correct posture. The pace ensures that you learn the basics well and then builds on itself. Dr. Ryan is a good teacher, super knowledgeable, kind, and chill; he's accessible for direct questions in a weekly livestream; and his staff answers questions online within a day. Excellent access to online professional support when you have questions. I've learned how to take care of my back so that I can move freely again! What a gift!!

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.

FINALLY This program delivered something that decades of searching did not. Chiro in particular was my only out with chronic back pain. A band aid at best as anyone who has relied on this method knows. Chiro has its place but knowledge is key. This program provides key info that transformed my relationship with my back problems.

Do-able! Ryan's training has helped me recover from a back injury from a fall. I had been gradually improving, doing exercises. This helped me to better strengthen and balance core muscles, slowing down and using deeper core muscles. So many programs instruct to do so many reps and movements I was not capable of, this approach was do-able! Thank you!
