When this client first came to see me—over Zoom—he was in serious pain and could barely move.

In his own words:

“I was crippled by some kind of disc movement in my lower right back. When I first saw him, I was barely mobile and leaning severely to the right.”

You can see it in the photo: knees bent, pelvis tucked, upper body pitched forward. He felt stuck in that position and couldn’t straighten up.

To reduce his pain and help him move better, we needed to shift how his pelvis and spine were positioned.

Generic exercises wouldn’t cut it. I gave him four specific movements, tailored to his posture and strength—designed to realign his body without causing more pain.

By the end of our first session, his posture was already starting to improve. In his words: “Things improved rapidly.”

All our sessions were online. Each time, I checked his form, tweaked the plan, and gradually introduced more advanced exercises to keep the progress going.

Bit by bit, his posture changed—and the pain faded.

He’s now moving freely and living pain-free—without ever stepping foot in a clinic.

He was thrilled to be back to normal life. And relieved to know he could fix his back—without surgery, medication, or even leaving the house.
